- Orange and yellow Skittles
- Plate
- Warm water
- Create the Sun: Arrange orange and yellow Skittles around the plate in the shape of a sun. Arrange the colors in any sun-inspired pattern.
- Add Warm Water: Slowly pour warm water onto the plate. Add just enough water to reach the Skittles without completely covering them.
- Watch the Colors: Leave the plate still and watch as the colorful candy coating begins to dissolve.
- Observe the Sun: Notice how the yellow and orange colors spread through the water, creating beautiful rays of color across the plate.
- Talk About It: Ask children what they notice. What happens when the colors meet? Why do they think the candy coating dissolves?
