Me05-Thank you for letting me know that these instructions did exactly what I hope they will do for my readers: make doing a science fair fun and give students a good project which they can be proud of showing at their fair. Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on December 10, 2016: No thank you!! You did a Awesome job helping kids choosing a science fair project!! Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on March 26, 2017: Why don't you look up "Facts about Skittles" or "Chemistry of Candy."Ĭan you give my 3-15 facts or give me the site to get on. Hi Kealy-You will need to do some research yourself. Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on March 30, 2017: Hey! Thx because of these instuchions I won FIRST PLACE! In the science fair!! Thank you so much:)
Everyone is all right and they should be back on track soon! Hi, Reny-Thanks for coming back to tell me that these worked well for you! The Mars factory near our house where they make the candies just had a fire this week. Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on May 05, 2017: I love this project can I plz use it cause I have a project in I have to make sure it's done by December 1 Sure Maya! You'll have to come back after you do your project and tell me how it went! Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on September 08, 2017: Thanks because now I know more about the skittle experiment I'm a student at R.V.Daniels and I decided to do this skittle project what solution will dissolve the fastest in different substance Figuring out this answer will make you a better scientist! VirginiaLynne (I'm the author of all my articles and that is my picture on the page.) Part of being a good scientist is understanding the concepts behind the terms. Different instructors have different names for parts of an experiment. Then think about the experiment and figure out what they are. If your teacher did not tell you the definitions, then you will need to look them up until you understand them. Read the definitions of the two kinds of variables carefully. Hi Holly-I don't put all of the information into these online helps because it is important for each student to do some of the thinking and work for themselves.
Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on January 19, 2018: I can't be sure what your teacher means by purpose or problem but I think that would be the question.įor my 6th grade science project I need a purpose or a problem that I'm trying to solve by doing this experiment. Hi Laina, different teachers will use different words for the parts of the experiment. Virginia Kearney (author) from United States on January 22, 2018: If I was going to do another experiment, I might like to try crushing the Skittles first like they were being eaten. If I were to do my experiment over again, I would _. I also thought that acids like vinegar would dissolve things faster. I thought that bleach takes away stains and so it would dissolve the color fastest. I was surprised because my conclusion was _. The dye on the Skittles dissolved fastest in _. Real scientists always use one experiment to help them design the next one, so in your conclusion, you should also talk about what research you would do next, or talk about what you would do differently if you were to do this experiment again. Share your ideas for future experiments.Share your ideas about why the experiment turned out the way it did.(It's okay if the results don't match your hypothesis!)
Drop down and pool underneath the Skittle?.Does the solution bubble when you drop the Skittles in?.Take notes on your observations about what happens as the Skittles lose color. You should carefully watch the Skittles in the different solutions and see how they dissolve.Write down the time on the chart in the journal. Drop a yellow Skittle in each jar and time how long it takes for the color to disappear from each one completely.Pour ½ cup of each solution into separate plastic cups and label each cup.Print out or draw a chart (like the one above) in your journal to record how long it takes for each Skittle to dissolve in each solution.
