The purpose of this experiment is to find out what liquid out of coke, coffee or tea will stain an eggshell the most. I chose to so this project because I think that it can help people who have problems with their teeth not being clean. They may find out why their teeth are staining so bad.

In this experiment, I’ll use eggshells in order to explore how teeth are stained by drinking coffee, tea, and
