We began our week by putting fruity tootsie rolls into vinegar, oil, milk and water. We noticed that the fruity tootsie roll seemed to disentegrate into the water and the vinegar. We also noticed that it disentigrated into the milk as well, but all the color settled to the bottom. We decided it seemed that the oil protected the fruity tootsie roll from anything happening.
On Tuesday, we put the candy corn into the different solutions. We predicted the candy corn would not do the same thing as the fruity tootsie roll. We noticed that the oil seemed to do the same thing (protect the candy corn), while the vinegar, oil, and water seemed to make it all disappear. We also noticed that in the vinegar and water, you could see little white strings that looked like the sugar from the candy corn. We decided that this happened when the candy corn disentigrated into pieces.
Lastly, on Thursday we put in skittles into the solution.We predicted the oil would "protect" the skittles and the other solutions would change colors. When we came in this morning, we noticed there seemed to be a clear layer of sugar in the vinegar and the water. We noticed the vinegar also seemed to look like a rainbow. We decided this must be from the skittles being different colors.
What an exciting wonder of the week! Luckily, this is just a very small preview of what is to come next week! :-)
