🔬 Last week, Mrs. Harman's biology students transformed a simple candy into a colorful hands-on experiment as they explored the fascinating process of diffusion!
Using Skittles as their model system, students investigated how temperature and sugar concentration affect the movement of dye molecules through water. Through careful prediction, observation, and analysis, they witnessed how molecules naturally move from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration — a fundamental concept in biology.
This vibrant investigation not only brought textbook concepts to life but also encouraged critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and collaboration in the classroom. Way to go, future scientists! 🍬🧠
