Years 5 and 6 Science with Leaders of Learning
Years 5 and 6 pupils learnt about diffusion in an experiment led by Leaders of Learning from Nottingham University. They observed the coloured sugar that is coating the skittles DISSOLVES in to the water and spreads out due to a process called DIFFUSION. The sugar will always move from the area where there is lots of sugar (next to the skittle) to a place where there is less, so you see the coloured sugar move across the plate.
