We had a great science experience today with skittles. We empty a packet of skittles on a plate and then added a little warm water. We found that the sugar coating on the skittles DISSOLVES (just like magic) into the water and spreads out due to a process called DIFFUSION. The sugar will always move from the area where there is lots of sugar (next to the skittle) to a place where there is less, so you see the coloured sugar move across the plate to make skittle rainbows!
