Learing About Colors

I have some posts to catch up on! On Oct 4th, Kellie taught a lesson on colors to the kids. She demonstrated how colors change when they are mixed together by dropping various colored ice cubes into a jar of warm water. As the cubes dissolve, they mix and change colors. For example, Kellie put a red and blue ice cube into the water and it made purple.
Then the kids recorded their observations on a worksheet Kellie gave them. They colored in the circles with the colors that were dropped into the water (Red + Blue) and then colored the final circle the new color (= Purple).

Look at those smart kiddos learning! :)

The other cool experiment Kellie did was to mix food coloring into milk. When you put a cue tip with dish soap into the milk, all the colors "run away" to leave this beautiful swirling design.
