Have any candy laying around? Try this #RacingRainbowExperiment!

• Colorful candies - Skittles, Sweet Tarts, M&Ms, Smarties, etc.

• Paper plates

• Water

• And something to track time (stopwatch, phone, clock)

Separate the candy so each kind has its own plate and place the candy around the edge of the plate. Gently pour water in the center of the candy circle and time how quickly the rainbow forms!
