Room 8 Science Experiment number 2

Our next experiment in Room 8 in finding out about evaporation was called Rainbow Sugar.

We stirred 2 spoons of sugar into water in a glass jar until it disappeared.

We poured 2 spoonsful of the sugar water into each foil dish for each child, adding a different food colour to each dish.

We left them in a warm place for minimum 3 days.

 

 We found that it took the sugar mixture 8 days to dry out.

As John explained, " The water evaporated and left behind coloured sugar. "
We enjoyed tasting the sugar crystals!
