Skittles Science Experiment for Kids

Skittles are made of ingredients that are prone to dissolve in water. They also do it quickly, so you have neat science right away. Candy dissolving science is fun to test out with a variety of liquids and candies. Different candies dissolve at different rates. Dissolving gum drops also make a colorful science experiment.

An important note: this experiment only works well if the bowl sits on a very stable surface, such as a table that does not shake or the floor. Make sure the children understand not to touch or move the bowl. Be sure to place the Skittles with the S side up. See the video made by Early Learning Toys here:
