DIY STEM Project For Kids: Skittles Experiment

Jesse introduces a fun science experiment using Skittles. The experiment involves arranging Skittles in a circle on a plate, adding water, and observing the colors dissolve and mix. Jesse explains that the colors dissolve because Skittles are water-soluble, and the mixing occurs due to surface tension changes. The video concludes with a reminder to share the Skittles and a farewell.
