Maths and Science using Skittles

Thursday 05 December 2019

Today, the children have continued with some scientific enquiry learning. First of all, they were given a bag of Skittles with a question; can we collect any data about these sweets?

We could sort them into colours.

I think that we could count them.

After grouping the sweets, the children completed tally and bar charts to showcase the data collected.

Next, came the BIG QUESTION!

What do you predict will happen when we add water to the Skittles?

I think the Skittles will turn white.

The water will be brown.

The sweets might dissolve.

The colour will melt.

Using simple equipment, we arranged the Skittles around the edge of the plate and then poured warm water into the middle.  We observed closely as some amazing changes happened.

Well done Year 2!
