Yesterday for science we were doing an experiment with skittles. What you had to do was you filed up a container with hot water and then get 4 or 5 skittles and put them in and watch the colour fade into the water. I was with Ayla and Gemeve we got some really nice photos of the water when the colour came of the skittles into it. Once the colour was in the water we were allowed to mix it around at first when you mixed it a little bit it looked nice kinda like tie dye but then when you mixed it more it became brown.
Skittle Observations
Instructions:
¾ fill a petri dish with water.
Carefully place 4 differently coloured skittles evenly spaced around the outside of the petri dish.
Watch...
Observations
What things did you notice? Can you make five observations?
The colours faded from the skittles.
the skittles made lines in the water from where the skittle colour faded.
It coloured the water.
the water made the skittles drain the water
The coloured water mixed together and made an ugly colour
Did anything surprise you? What weren’t you expecting to observe?
No-Keah
I wasn’t expecting the colours to stay in their own bubble I thought they would automatically merge with their neighbors boarders and make a mixed colour line where they joined. - Ayla
Not really- Genevemema
Wonderings
What questions arose in your mind as you did this activity?
what colour is more dominant
Why was the lines forming in the water from the skittles- Gemeve
Do you have any ideas about why certain things happened?
no-Keah
No-Gememema
yes-Ayla
What could you do to see if your ideas are correct?
Hey Keah, I like your blog post about your experiment with skittles. But maybe next time you could fix up your sentences up,Because some of your sentence does not make scene like "What you had to do was you filed up a container " ,
ReplyDeleteWhich should be"What you had to do was fill up a container". And also you should add some photos into your blog post of what it looked like because I would love to see!. But Insted of that I like your blog post.
we had got some photos but couldn't get them but if i do ill add them in thx
DeleteWell done Keah I like your observations and wonderings. Its amazing to see the pattern produced by the skittles.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with Hollie a photo would have show everyone the end result.
