Skittle colours

 Aim: I want to find out what happens when you put skittles in water 


Method:


equipment:

  • Petri dish 
  • Skittles
  • warm water 
  • small beaker

Instruction:
  1. Get all your equipment ready.
  2. spread out the skittles around the edge of your petri dish
  3. gently poor the warm water into the middle of the petri dish
  4. Observe what happens

Results:



discussion: 

why did the colour leave the skittles? 
Because Skittles are coated in food colouring and sugar and when you pour water over the skittles the coloured coat dissolves spreading through the water and making a cool pattern. 

Why did the colours not mix?

Because The warm water causes the colouring and sugar to dissolve and diffuse through the water. The reason the colours do not initially mix is due to water sheet thickness in colours..
