Mad Science!

Hello Families,

I hope that you are enjoying the afternoon with your kindergartner!

Yesterday our class did a “skittles science experiment.”  We put four different colored skittles in a petri dish filled with warm water.  Then we recorded our observations in our science notebooks.  Here is what we observed:

Our class of scientists wondered if we would get the same results if we put skittles in a different liquid.  This morning Charlie brought in some vinegar.  Here is what we observed:

We noticed that the vinegar changed colored faster than the warm water!

Thanks to Isaac’s aunt, Ameena’s mom and Charlie’s mom for helping us yesterday!  Thanks to Isaac’s aunt for taking the pictures!

Gotta get back to work on the report cards!

Ms. Wright
