Skittles Science Experiment

I have seen the skittles experiment all over Pinterest! Carson enjoys doing science experiments – especially when he doesn’t need much assistance. He placed the skittles all around the plate and watched in amazement as what happened next.

Supplies needed:
Skittles
Warm water
Plate

Have your kid make a circle on the edge of the plate. Then pour in warm water from the sink. It doesn’t need to be boiling – just a little warm.

Then sit back and watch the rainbow appear in under a minute. No matter the age of the kid, they will enjoy it. Plus bonus points for getting to eat the leftover Skittles!
