Changing Matter

The hearts were perfect to use in an experiment to introduce our new unit of inquiry:  How The World Works.   Our central idea is:  Scientific investigations help us understand the world around us.   We decided that investigation means we should experiment to find out things or solutions.  Today we wanted to see if the hearts (solids) would sink or float in different liquids.   
To our surprise they did sink BUT in the Sprite the hearts floated to the top on bubbles (gas)!  When the bubbles popped the hearts sank again.
