Skittle expirement

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

Materials;

1. Petrie dish 

 

2. Water
3. Skittles
4. Petrie tray 
5. Jug 


Process
Step 1: Grab your petrie dish and place it on a flat surface

Step 2: Get your skittles and place them in your petrie dish.In 5 equal parts.

Step 3:Get your water and pour it over your skittles so its just covering them.

Step 4:Wait until the skittles are dissolved


Findings: Write about what happened. The colors and how they fade into each other.

Reflection: What have I learnt from this experiment? That the colors do not join straight away.

What did the colors do ? They did not mix at first but if you bumped them they would mix.

Did the colors mix together ? If you bumped them.

Why or why not ? Because they got bumped and they did not because the water was still.
