Our children recently enjoyed a colorful science experiment just in time for Thanksgiving. With a plate of Skittles and warm water, they created “Skittle Turkeys” while exploring how dissolving and diffusion work.
How It Worked
- Children arranged Skittles in the shape of a turkey.
- Warm water was poured onto the plate.
- The colors spread toward the center, creating the look of vibrant feathers.
The experiment sparked curiosity and encouraged observation and prediction skills. With guidance from our teaching team, children connected a playful experiment to real science concepts.
At Trillium Montessori, everyday materials become tools for discovery. We are thankful for the enthusiasm of our children and the support of our families in making this experiment such a bright success.
