Super Star Scientist...

Noah!

Experiment: Skittles Science

Objective:  What will happen if you put Skittles in water?

Materials:  paper plate, Skittles candy, and water

Noah and his assistant, Dad, had all the supplies ready for his super fun science experiment...Skittles Science!

First, Scientist Noah started lining the outer edge of the paper plate with the  Skittles.  

He continued until they were around the entire plate...

...concentrating to make sure they were straight and all the way around!

After that, Noah's assistant poured water around the edge where the Skittles were lined up.

 

Then we waited and observed to see what would happen!

We saw the colors start to dissolve and run...

...and make a really cool pattern...

...until all the colors came together in the middle of the plate!

Look at how fun this turned out!!

Each student got to try it out and make their own patterns!

So fun!

Conclusion:  Skittles are made of sugar that are prone to dissolve in water and the colors "run" to make fun patterns.

*For extra fun, try different candies or see what candy dissolves the quickest.*
