![]() Since the plate has a slight angle down to the center, the color and sugar takes a slow ride to the middle of the plate.ĭiffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration (the peppermint candy) to an area of low concentration (the water). When the water meets the candy, it starts to dissolve the sugar and food coloring away from the candy itself. This amazing experiment happens because the candy is made of sugar and food coloring. It seemed like this was created by the white and red colors of the candy.Īs we watched, the clear water slowly started turning red- from the red part of the candy. We found it very interesting that it made stripes as it went down. Slowly but surely the color of the peppermint candy is going to start melting to the middle of the plate. Adding a cookie cutter is optional, but it is fun to see that the color starts to slow down (it doesn’t completely stop) when it hits the cookie cutter. The next step, when you’re ready is to pour water over the peppermint candies and to slightly fill up the plate. We chose a white plate so that we could really see the colors, but this isn’t absolutely required! That’s all you need! Setting this up only includes making a ring on the outside rim of the plate. Christmas Tree Cookie Cutter (Optional).All you need for this STEM Science Project are a few simple materials you probably already have laying around your house:
