Students will test different temperatures of water on food color diffusion. They will observe molecules moving, and learn how to rank their observations. They will create a graph, analyze data, and write a summary at their grade level. Students will expand their knowledge by exploring food coloring in other liquids with activity 2.
Teachers will enjoy immersing students in the scientific method. Teachers like the ease of use, background information, simple supplies, and ability to differentiate. The activities can be done as a whole class or individually.
Great For science fairs, classrooms, clubs, or science camps.
Supplies Needed
Beakers or Heatproof Containers, Food Coloring, Stopwatch, Water, and liquids of choice for activity 2 (corn syrup, oil, milk, soda, etc.).
