The Chocolate Experiment

Braydon was hanging out with Kristin yesterday afternoon. He had a long sleeved black shirt on and got hot in the sun. (YEAH SUN!!!) They had a conversation about dark clothes vs white clothes and heat. So he came up with an experiment. What if I put dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in the sun? What would melt first. They decided he should put them on a paper towel and not a plate because the plate might make it hotter. So he did it and lo and behold the dark chocolate melted the fastest, the butterscotch second, and the white last. Then we decided we better try the microwave to make sure it wasn't just the consistency of the chocolate. And the results were that the dark chocolate actually melted last, the butterscotch first and the white second. So it would appear that the dark color does make a difference and I don't think Braydon will ever forget that concept. Go little scientist go!
