Diffusion and Particle Motion - Octopuses

Creature Teacher: The Octopus
Science Category: Chemistry

Students investigate diffusion by observing how food coloring spreads in water at different temperatures. Inspired by how an octopus’s ink disperses through the ocean, this hands-on experiment demonstrates how particle motion and temperature influence the movement of substances in liquids.

All Creature Curriculum resources are educator-designed, classroom-tested, and built to support joyful, meaningful science learning.
Each lesson is just one of dozens of science investigations available within a growing, interconnected lesson library.
