As part of Science Week, we took part in an experiment to see what would happen to the Skittles when we poured warm water over them.

We found out that because Skittles are covered by a hard, crunchy shell made up of sugar and different coloured dye that when the warm water mixes with the sugary shell, the sugar dissolves and the different coloured dye begins to run and blend together.

We really enjoyed watching what happened.
