Great choice, Junior Scientist! Today we're doing the "Skittles Color Wheel" experiment. Let me explain what we'll discover together. The sugar and color coating dissolves in water. The colors spread outward, and sugar water is denser so the colors push each other until they meet, creating beautiful stripes!

๐Ÿงฐ Materials Needed

Skittles
White plate
Warm water

๐Ÿ“‹ Setup Instructions

Arrange Skittles in a circle near the edge of a white plate.
