When you put an M&M in a plate full of water will it dissolve? In order to find this out you will need to have a plate, a plastic cup, a M&M, and a flat surface. To start the experiment you will need to put the plate on the flat surface then you will fill the cup with water and put it in the plate then you will put the M&M in observe. So, did it dissolve?

Do other colors dissolve faster than others? In order o find this out you will need a flat surface, different colors of M&M's, as many plates as M&M's with two circles on it, a ruler, and a plastic cup. To start put the plate on the flat surface. Then fill the cup with water and fill one plate and then repeat till all plates are filled. Then you put one M&M in and start counting once it reaches the first circle measure how many centimeters till the next circle and keep counting. Once it has reached the last circle you divide the amount of time ( in seconds) by the area it traveled in Centimeters. The answer that you get is the speed, repeat. So, do some colors dissolve faster than others.

In class we asked two scientific questions. The first scientific question is do M&M's dissolve in water. We found out in our experiment that they do. The second scientific question that we asked is do certain colors of M&M's dissolve faster than others the answer is no. Even though one dissolved like a tenth faster that is like no difference so the answer is no.
