The children were still talking about our ‘fun science lesson’ so we thought we should try the ‘skittles’ experiment with them in support of our colour theme this week. We were very impressed with their interest, focus and their patience as they waited for the exciting results, initially watching how to create a skittle rainbow, before having a turn to try independantly. The highlight for the children turned out to be mixing the colours at the end, and finding out what happened to the bottom of the skittles.
“wow”, “it’s a rainbow” 
Carefully positioning our skittles around the plate 
One of the children asked “will the colour come off the bottom?” so all of the children decided to find out.
