In Bumblebees last week we conducted a fun and very simple experiment with the children to engage them in both science but also learning about colour. All you need is a plate, a packet of skittles and a small jug of warm water…

Simply get the children to neatly line the plate with the different coloured skittles. Once the circle is complete, pour over some warm water and watch the mezmerising results! So very simple but fascinating and perfect to try at home…
