Colors

Today our learning intention in Science class was to predict and describe changes in colour that result from the mixing of primary colors. 

Please ask your child the three Primary colors (red, yellow, blue). 

Ask them what happens when you mix two primary colors together. You create a another color (a Secondary color.).Ask you child what these two colors create: 

yellow and red
blue and yellow
blue and red 

The answer should be, respectively : orange, green, and purple.
Ask your child how the experimenting went today. 

Our learning intention was also to solve the problem of ... we need to get an orange color for our halloween art project ... how would we do that with only those three primary colors. I believe your child should be able to tell you. What did many discover  when they tried to make orange? (they were turning out too red - argh). Tomorrow we will try to add more yellow to make them more orange. 

Here are some of our scientists hard at work. Here is also a video to check out (we have yet to check it out!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmquqAP2w_8
