Shell Staining Experiment

Today we started an experiment that relates to our healthy lifestyle investigation. We were wondering what would happen to our teeth if we didn't brush them for a day, or even several days. To simulate the scenario without actually not brushing our teeth, we collected white shells (that resembled our teeth) from our materials room. Then we made 5 food coloring dye solutions to drop our shells for the time period of choice, In a few days we shall see what happened to our shells and if we are even capable of brushing the dye off the shells.
