Super Skittle SurpriseScience Observation Lesson

Teacher infoTeach the important scientific skill- observation.

You will need some small containers, some skittles and some warmwater. Thats it!

Put kids into small groups so each kiddo can have a good chanceto observe. Put enough warm water to cover skittles into each

container. Have kids set each Skittle into the water with the Sface up. Let them observe!! Hopefully they will see the colordissolving off each Skittle and the S floating up to the top!

Record observations!!(The ink used for the S does not readily dissolve in water- and

therefore floats up to the top..)
