Skittles Rainbow Experiment

2nd May 2025

Today we conducted a fascinating STEM experiment, combining science with a splash of colour. Each child carefully arranged some Skittles into a circle on their plates, eager to watch the magic unfold. With warm water gently poured over them, the colours began to dissolve, creating a dazzling rainbow display right before their eyes. This engaging experiment was not only fun, but also educational. The children learned about scientific concepts like diffusion and how substances can mix in water. The children loved watching the Skittles form a rainbow.
