HOW DOES SUGAR
Both sugar and water molecules are POLAR. Polar molecules are basically little magnets. One side is positive, and the other side is negative. Like magnets, opposites attract: positives and negatives tug on each other.
DISSOLVE IN Tea
Everyone loves a cup of tea! Simple and delicious, It ' s hard to hate. But of course, tea without any sugar tastes horrible.
How, then, does sugar get into tea? You drop a piece of sugar into a cup, and the next moment it ' s gone. POOF! Just like that. It’ s not magic, it ' s science!
Everything is made up of teeny tiny little particles called molecules. So, sugar is made of sugar molecules, water is made of water molecules, cheese is made of cheese molecules, and so on. These molecules can interact with each other in many exciting ways!
When a piece of sugar is put into tea, which is mainly water, the water molecules tug on the sugar molecules. They pull and pull until the sugar molecule pops out of the sugar cube, and into the water.
This happens quickly for all sugar molecules in the sugar cube, and it dissolves. After a few seconds it ' s gone and you have a sweet, delicious cup of tea.
Yum!
