I will be telling you about my skittle observation. This was second experiment of many to come. It was when you put skittles in hot water and the colours spreed out. I enjoys doing this experiment it was a blast to do here is a picture(its not my picture)
I also did a doc with the things that I saw happen. Here is what I wrote
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 did not overlap
They needed 3-5 seconds to start spreading the colours
On the bottom of the skittles there was a little bit of colour left in the middle.
As soon as you pick it up the colours overlap and blend
it gave a nice smell
Did anything surprise you? What weren’t you expecting to observe?
Wonderings
What questions arose in your mind as you did this activity?
Would it work if you used other things with food colouring
Do you have any ideas about why certain things happened?
nope
What could you do to see if your ideas are correct?
Test many times using the ideas
Thanks for reading my blog have a good day!
Sincerly,
Luke
Hi Luke
ReplyDeleteYes it was amazing to see the patterns produced by the skittles. Yes I also wonder if you could use other lollies of different colours.
