Observations

• What things did you notice?  Can you make five observations?

•   The colours faded  from the skittles. 

•   the skittles made lines in the water from where the skittle colour faded.

•   It coloured the water.

•   the water made the skittles drain the water 

•   The coloured water mixed together and made an ugly colour

• Did anything surprise you?  What weren’t you expecting to observe? 

No-Keah

I wasn’t expecting the colours to stay in their own bubble I thought they would automatically merge with their neighbour boarders and make a mixed colour line where they joined. - Ayla
