Skittles

 Good morning my readers,

Yesterday for my work in science we had to get some warm water in a petri dish. Then we had to put skittles in and then watch it and to see what happens. We also had to write what we saw that happen to the skittles after being in the water.

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...

 

1. 
   

Observations

• What things did you notice?  Can you make five observations?

•   The colours are mixing together.

•   The purple one is mixing along with the red skittle.

•   The skittle are losing their colours.

•   Skittles are turning into white.

• If you use cold water the dye comes slower.

• Did anything surprise you?  What weren’t you expecting to observe?

• It did surprise us. Because with are teacher last year Miss T we used mentos and a coke bottle to see how it reacted. The reaction was a cool thing. It made a big fizz and it went up in the air.

Wonderings

• What questions arose in your mind as you did this activity?

• How did the skittles begin to lose colour?

•  Do you have any ideas about why certain things happened?

• While it was really cool watching the skittles.

•  What could you do to see if your ideas are correct?

• While we did 3 tests to make sure are ideas were correct.

Test 2: The second test was the same as the first test we did. We both said it looked the same as the first one because it looked rainbow. But then it started to lose the colours.

Test 3: Was different from the first test and the second test. Because it went to a really brown mouldy colour because the colours mix completely together.

Thank you for reading my blog post please comment and have a great day.
