 A science experiment with Skittles and M n M's. Each student with their mentor made a prediction about what would happen when their skittles or their M n M's encountered water. After their hypothesis students took a plate and a cup of either Skittles or M n M's. They arranged the candy one by one around the edge of their plate. Water was then added to fill the plate until it just touched the candy. Students discussed dissolving candy, diffusing color. What happens if the colors are left alone? What happens if they get bumped? Can  you transfer the color to a coffee filter or a piece of paper? Students recorded their findings. The colors were beautiful!
