Color currents on a plate: Arrange the candy ring

Name: Color currents on a plate: Arrange the candy ring
Description: The candies should not touch before water is added; use fresh candies and a dry plate for every run. Matched count and spacing make the color fronts easier to compare. This authored animation illustrates the process; use real observations for measured results.
