Extended Schools Science Club - SKITTLE EXPERIMENT

Back to News
21st Jan 2025

Today in Science Club, the children had a fantastic time conducting the Skittles experiment!
This fun and colorful activity involved observing how water interacts with the coating on Skittles candies to create vibrant patterns.

The children explored concepts such as diffusion and color mixing while making predictions and discussing their observations.

It was a great opportunity for hands-on learning and creativity, sparking curiosity about the science behind everyday objects. Well done to all our super scientists!
