SILLY SCIENCE WITH SIMON

If you’re looking for something fun and easy to do at home, check out this skittles science experiment!

Simply place some skittles around the edge of a plate, add water until they’re almost completely submerged and watch as streams of colour cover the plate – looking just like a rainbow!

Try arranging the skittles in different ways to make beautiful works of art.

This experiment is a great way to learn about two important topics in science: dissolving and diffusing.

Watch the experiment in action and learn about what’s going on!
