Skittles

 Kia ora readers,

Today is science class we will be experimenting skittles. I did this before in primary next to us in 2019 my teacher teaches all of us to do this by yourself, we just put the skittles at the sides and put water in the middle to remove the colours  and we get to eat them later. My Group is me and Enzo.

Here are some examples of how to do it.  

Chromatography is technique for the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension through a medium in which the components move at different rates.

Aim. to separate the colours from the skittles by using chromatography

Material.

1. 5 or 3. Skittles

2. Water

3. Petri dish

4. Beaker

Process.

Step 1. Get you equipment set up nearly to your the 50mls of water into the perti dish with skittles.

Step 2. Place the skittles into the perti dish around the edges.

Step 3. Pour 50ml water gently into the middle of the perti dish

Step 4. Watch as the water removes the dye from the skittles. See which colour reaches the middle fastest.

Step 5. Record your results on the table below.

Here is a video and a picture of what me and Enzo did.
