This fun project gives a fun WOW effect to help get young kids excited about science.

Basically. in this Rainbow Science Experiment, when you add warm water to the Skittles, the sugar and food coloring start to dissolve.

Put skittles on a white plate or platter in the largest circle possible around the plate, but still making sure they are touching with no gaps between skittles. There are two basic choices:

  • form a pattern – purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red REPEAT. This is a great way to help young learners practice forming patterns!
  • color block – make a large section all blue then make another large section green, etc. until you’ve used all the colors to form a cricle.
