Today was learned all about the vitamins and minerals in our food. Especially the iron in our breakfast cereal.
We used Total cereal, which has 80% of the daily allowance of iron per serving..which is one cup.
We put one cup of cereal in a good ziploc bag and add a cup or two of water. Squish and mush and and turn the cereal to a soup.
When the cereal is dissolved run a strong magnet along the cereal...slowly, back and forth.
Ta Da!!! Real iron...right there in our cereal. We next tried Chex cereal which has 40% of the daily allowance of iron...we only found a teeny tiny bit of iron in the cereal soup.
Science rules!!
