Question

A small child watches you as you stir a spoonful of sugar into a glass of clear lemon-flavored drink. The child believes the sugar went away as it seemed to disappear. How would you explain to the child what happened to the sugar, and how could you show her how to get the sugar back.

Answer 1

you can say that the sugar dissolved and the water "ate" the sugar and you can try to make a sugar crystal to show her.

Answer 2

Tell the child that the powder was mixed into the water. Show them that the water changes color when the sugar is added. Let the water evaporate to get the sugar back
