Kind of a tough question for a 8 year old.
One must use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation combined with Raoult's law, used in chemistry to determine the freezing point and boiling point.
In a nutshell, freezing point and boiling point depend upon ion concentrations. If one could determine the amount of each type of chemical in Kool-Aid's different flavors, then solving the equation would not be hard.
A much better science question for her would be;
"How does the waters freezing point change when I add X amount of sugar?"
Very solvable, and the math is hard, but not that hard.

It does not affect the boiling point at all unless there is more powder than water. If you boil the water completely then you will end up with the powder. Best wishes on the project.

since kool-aid is sugar, it wouldn't affect it much if at all. If you poured it in you will be able to boil off the water at 100 degrees

I don't think the flavors will make a difference... Water always boils at the same temperature.

well i think the darker the kool-aid the faster it will boil but i dont no im not a science teacher

You actually expect the boiling point of grape koolaid to be measurably different from that of cherry koolaid? Good luck with that.

the sugar content might change the boiling time, but boiling point will always remain at 212F (sea level)

Well start boiling and try different ways.. good luck

it doesnt but if you want a real project check the difference in times of sugar and salt
