Science

In Science we have been discussing what it means to dissolve!  I found this great experiment online, it is making S's float!  You simply take skittles, water, and a small cup.

 

 

 

Directions:

Place the skittle in a small cup of water with the "s" facing upward. 

Watch and see what happens!  In about 30 seconds, the "s" will float to the top.

The reason why the "s" doesn't dissolve, is because it is printed with edible, non-dissolving ink!

 I thought it was amazing - and so did my kids!  At the end of the experiment, they ate their skittle, and talked about how it tasted how it was supposed to without the candy coating.  Purple was grape flavor, after the purple dissolved it still tasted grape... Why?  Because the flavoring is inside the skittle, not on the candy coating!  :)
