Hi Jennifer,
I’m sorry the experiment was not successful for you. Have you tried it with sparkling water? We have found that the best combination is 4 alka-seltzer tablets to about 1 cup of water? Since the conversation hearts are a fairly heave candy, you need a little more “fizz” to really make them dance.
Hope that helps!
Warmly,

Hello Debbie,
I am sorry that the experiment did not work for you, that can be very disappointing.
But no worries!!
Others have a trouble the first time, but then after trying a few times had great success, and reading through the previous comments might give you some new insight or ideas.
I hope this helps!
Warmly,
Kimberleigh

The tablets turned the water blue which made it hard to see to begin with. And the hearts never did dance even though there was a thick layer of foam after four tablets.….doc need a wet paper towel

]]> By: Valerie Ryan https://www.playdoughtoplato.com/dancing-conversation-hearts/#comment-248245 https://www.playdoughtoplato.com/?p=16249#comment-248245 This experiment was a lot of fun with my young 4-H kids. They had so much fun. I found it interesting that the Conversation Hearts started to dance a little before the Alka Seltzer was added. Do you think the fact that the Conversation Hearts have citric acid would cause this?

]]> By: Ramona Jackson https://www.playdoughtoplato.com/dancing-conversation-hearts/#comment-194737 https://www.playdoughtoplato.com/?p=16249#comment-194737 I have done this in the classroom with raisins and also gummie worms and cooked spaghetti. The children love it. You can’t beat Baking soda and vinegar for making great messes. lol I would not have thought of the candy hearts though. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Third Graders,

I’m excited that you’re thinking about how you can change different variables to make the science experiment work for you! Wonderful scientific thinking, kiddos.

Warmly,

Malia

We are sorry to say that we have tried it twice and both times only the pink sweetheart floats. A couple of suggestions we have is that we could use sparkling water (we used tap), maybe we are supposed to put in a certain amount of hearts? Another conclusion we have is that maybe we should tap the bottom or use an actual glass (we used plastic cups). It’s a fun experiment to try–don’t give up!

Thanks again,
