What to do:
Step 1. Add 50 ml (3 tbsp) of tap water to each of your five small glasses, and add a few drops of food colouring to each. If you only have one colour, add it only to glasses one, three and five. If you have five colours, add a different colour to each glass.
Step 2. You won’t be adding anything else to glass one, but add 15 g (1 1/5 tbsp) of sugar to glass two, 30 g (2 2/3 tbsp) to glass three, 45 g (3 1/2 tbsp) to glass four and 60 g (4 2/3 tbsp) to glass five.
Step 3. Stir the glasses with the sugar. You should find that the sugar in glasses two and three dissolves quickly, while with four and five it will take longer. If after several minutes of stirring, solid sugar remains, heat the glasses in a microwave for short bursts (ten seconds at a time) to slightly warm the water.
