Yellow and blue make green!

Today, we were back to Science Fridays!  7 girls and one brave boy all learned about mixing colors.  This was maybe our best Friday yet!  We did several activities:

We made our own color wheels starting with just the primary colors




We used colored ice to make green, purple, and orange water
 (this was the best demonstration - so simple and visual!)


We used droppers to mix different colors together



 We used color paddles and flashlights to make different color combinations


We had primary colored Cool Whip and mixed orange, purple, and green and then ate it up with some apple slices.  They loved this part!

Then, we had a "test." Everyone had a sheet with color combinations.  We made predictions, then I mixed colored water to see if they were right.  Each person chose the circle that completed the combination (red + yellow = orange).

Mommy needs a nap and a manicure!
