Skittle Experiment

Chromatography - Skitlles:

Aim: To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.

Materials:

1. Skitlles
2. Petrie Dish
3. Liquid/Water

Process:

Step 1: Get your Petrie dish.
Step 2: Get your skittles.
Step 3: Place the skittles around the Petrie dish. (Make them even)
Step 4: Pour a decent amount of liquid/water, enough to submerge half of the skittle.
Step 5: Watch the skittle turn white as the colours of it melt through the water.
Step 6: Eat the skittles if you want to, and enjoy your rainbow water.

Findings & Reflection:

I found the skittle's colours disappear as it slowly expands and mixes together. When the colour started to spread around the Petrie dish, the other half of the skittles was turning white. We also ate the skittles at the end.
