Creating Colour

We have been hard at work with our Science Unit, Creating Colour! 




We made predictions about what would happen when we mixed red, blue, and yellow with each other. Then, using a paperclip on top of a paper plate and a magnet beneath it, we were able to mix these three primary colours, mess free!



Look at our results:



Here is a ridiculous YouTube clip we enjoyed which reinforced what happens when we mix primary colours (be VERY careful, the song gets stuck in your head!)



Then we posted what we had learned on the wall:


This week we tackled two enormous words, TRANSPARENT and OPAQUE. Can your child describe the difference?

Look at the items we gathered:



Then we examined over 20 samples and practiced identifying if they were transparent or opaque. The boys and girls looked at everything from ketchup to shampoo! 


But this was just the beginning! Our messy morning of colour centers was fast approaching! 

Stay tuned for our next blog post, Creating Colour: The Sequel!
