Exploring Color Dissolution: Gobstoppers in Water Experiment

Conduct a scientific experiment to observe how different colored gobstoppers dissolve in water, uncovering the unique color dispersion patterns caused by wax layers. Understand the scientific concept of color mixing in candies.

  1. Steps to the Scientific Method

  2. Mystery Spheres

  3. http://recoverytimes.com/images/wonka%20gobstoppers.gif Question: What will happen if we place the gobstoppers in the water?

  4. Hypothesis:If we place the gobstoppers in the water, then…….

  5. Materials: • 4 different colored gobstoppers • Large petri dish • Cup of water • Graduated cylinder or pipette • Colored pencils

  6. Procedures: Place the gobstoppers at the 12, 3, 6, & 9 o’clock position in the bowl. Slowly fill your dish with water just above the candy.

  7. Data/Observations:Draw three big circles.1. What the gobstoppers looked like in the bowl before you added the water. 2. Immediately after the water is added. 3. What the gobstoppers look like 5-7 minutes later. What is your conclusion?

  8. Conclusion: As the candies dissolve, the concentric layers of color disperse into the surrounding water, but adjoining colors do not readily mix to form new colors. This is because a thin layer of wax surrounds each layer, inhibiting the spread of colors. Further, the colored water forms clearly defined, wedge-shaped areas in the dish and changes color over time.)

  9. New Questions: Discuss and record at least one new question. *For example: What would happen if we put the gobstoppers in hot water?
