Creating Colour: The Sequel!

We have learned so much about color already, and yesterday we welcomed in 5 very brave and energetic moms and dads to help us learn even more!

The parents were tasked with running 4 messy, hands-on centers!

Station One: Adding Water to Paint
First up? Adding water to brown paint! Can you guess what happened?

As we added water, the paint became thinner, and it was easier to see the bear outline beneath. The paint became more transparent!

Station Two: Adding White

Then we added white paint to the primary colours. The kids loved seeing the paint get lighter each time more white was added!

Station Three: Adding Black

We added black paint to the primary colours, and many predicted the colour would get darker! Great prediction, scientists!

Station Four: Colour Mixing

We had some fun rolling, squeezing and squishing plasticine! It was a great review of the primary colours and how they combine to make the secondary colours. 

So much fun! 

Next Wednesday, February 4th will be a small review quiz for this unit. To help your child prepare, our experiment sheets have been sent home in this duotang with your child today, along with a helpful study guide:

Consider reviewing this blog post with your child, as well as this other one from a few days ago!
