What better way to get ready for the weekend, than to do some experiments with Peeps?..

So…since the focus was on states of matter, I thought, why not experiment with states of matter with this friendly Easter candy.  We set out to learn about changing states of matter, and to determine what a reversible and irreversible state would be.  To demonstrate this, we heated, froze, and worked on dissolving marshmallow Peeps.  It was a lot of fun to see what happened to the poor little chicks and bunnies during these experiments.  The children had a lot of fun, and learned some new things.

 

here are the before:

and…here are the after:

This poor vinegar peep had nothing left but his eyes.
