How does dissolving work, especially warm vs. cold water? In this fun science experiment for children, Miss Emily uses Skittles candy, Springtime, and cold vs. warm water to explore how dissolving works. (Full online materials at https://www.learnandplaymontessori.com/online-learning/). First, we take out our skittles and make a pattern of yellow, green, red, purple, and orange. Then we predict (a hypothesis) what will be the rate of change in cold vs. warm water and the colors. Finally, we do the science experiment and learn via the scientific method that warm water dissolves Skittles more rapidly than cold. It's a fun, Spring way to enjoy some Skittles and learn some science.
