Saturated Solutions

In science, our class has been learning about saturated solutions. Last week we calculated that cold water holds 12-15 grams of salt and then reaches its saturation point. This week, students investigated if citric acid, when dissolved into cold water, has the same saturation point. Although not finished with the investigation yet, students have found that so far it is holding many more spoonfuls of citric acid. Today they will reach the saturation point and use math to calculate how many grams of the citric acid the water holds.
