Hands-On Wednesday: Density Rainbow

STEM Hands On

Density Rainbow

Put your Halloween candy to work in this neat density experiment! Create colorful sugar solutions with Skittles and combine them to make a rainbow. What causes the solutions to have different densities? If you add more Skittles, does the liquid become more or less dense? What happens if you let your finished rainbow sit for a long time? Grab your extra candy and find out!
