Skittle Experiment

 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: 

  1.  ¾ fill a petri dish with water. 

  2. Carefully place 4 differently coloured skittles evenly spaced around the outside of the petri dish. 

  3. 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?

  1. 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 " ,

    Which 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.
