🌈 Rainbow Science

17th Oct 2025

STEM WEEK in Primary 2

Our Skittles and Warm Water Experiment

 

What we did:
We put colourful Skittles around a plate and poured warm water in the middle.

What we saw:
The colours started to spread out and made a rainbow pattern!

What we learned:

  • The colour and sugar on the Skittles dissolved in the warm water.
  • The colours moved and made patterns because the sugar was mixing with the water.
  • We found out that warm water helps things dissolve faster than cold water.
  • We can look closely, make predictions, and talk about what we see.

 

It was like magic – but it was science! 🔬
