Glorious Gobstoppers

THE EXPERIMENT

What you need: 
m&ms, cup water, see through container

What to do:
Put 4 m&ms into the centre of the container but they can't touch each other.
Fill with water

Observations:
We saw that the m&ms colour sunk to the bottom of the container and that if you covered the m&ms fully with water the m's floated off! 
We also saw that the colours didn't mix and stayed in sections in the container.

Questions from the investigation:
What would happen if the m&ms touched?
What would happen if you added more m&ms?
What would happen if you changed the temperature of the water?
Would the same thing happen with different types of lollies?
