I love incorporating easy science experiments into the classroom as often as I can. I thought this rainbow in a jar science experiment was perfect for March. To make this rainbow in a jar, the students are exploring density by layering sugar water to make a rainbow. The materials are all things you most likely already have on hand. Materials Approx. 2 cups of warm tap water 1/2 cup measuring cup 1 Tablespoon measuring spoon 4 small jars of glasses Approx.
1 1/2 cups of granulated white sugar Red, blue, yellow and green food coloring Tall thin glass or test tube. I used an old Starbucks bottle Straw 4 popsicle sticks Microwave Experiment steps Step 1: Measure a 1/2 cup of warm tap water into the 4 jars. Step 2: Add 2 drops of food coloring to each of the 4 jars. Step 3: To the jar of red water, add 2 tablespoons of sugar.
To the jar of yellow, add 4 tablespoons of sugar. To the jar of green water, add 6 tablespoons of sugar. To the jar of blue water, add 8 tablespoons of sugar. Step 4: Stir each of the jars to dissolve the sugar. If your water is not warm enough to dissolve the sugar, put the jar in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until the sugar is dissolved. The students can already see at this point that by dissolving increasing amounts of sugar, you’re increasing the density of the sugar water solutions. They can easily see that the jars all started the same and now the blue looks a lot fuller than the red.
Step 5:聽Pour about an inch of the blue water into the bottom of your glass or test tube. Step 6: Use your straw to gently drip the green water on top of the blue layer. It works best to place the straw to the side of the glass just above the blue layer. You want to add the layers to the glass slowly and carefully, otherwise they’ll mix together resulting in a muddled rainbow. Step 7: Add the yellow layer next using the same method and last the red layer. Stand back and admire your beautiful rainbow!
I hope you students love making the rainbow and learning about density in a fun way! See you next time!

Mason Jar Rainbow Cake – if you have a cake mix and some mason jars, you can create this fun and easy dessert! Mason jar cakes are a great way to send treats to someone you love! Sorry about that week-long hiatus! I promise it wasn’t because I was on vacation or doing anything even remotely fun. We were moving, and it was literally a week-long process!
Rainbow in a Jar Science Experiment Instruction Step 1 – Add one drop of red food coloring and one drop of blue food coloring to 1/4 cup of honey and stir until combined. This is create a purple color liquid.

We still aren’t completely finished. Everything is out of our old house, and our new house is coming together, but our old house still needs to be cleaned. Ugh, one of the worst parts about moving! Loving a military man means lots of relocating, packing, etc, but this time we did it all ourselves. Usually there are movers that do that for us, but since we weren’t leaving Hawaii and just moving on-post, we were on our own. I’m so glad it’s (pretty much) DONE!
This move also came during what is usually a pretty eventful month in our house. My husband and I both celebrate our birthdays in March, and our anniversary is actually on St. The first of these holidays, though, is my hubby’s birthday which we celebrated yesterday. His dessert request? Rainbow Cake! So did you know you could make cake in a jar? Well you can, and it’s awesome!
You can make Rainbow Cake, or any cake for that matter, in a jar and then seal it up and send it to someone you love! Makes a great way to surprise someone who lives far away from you. We think it’s a great way to send some cake to a deployed loved one, too. These are so much fun! I love just about anything that comes in (or out of) a Mason Jar, and when my husband asked for Rainbow Cake, I knew immediately how I wanted to make it.
