Colors all around

The week's before our Spring Break/Intersession we were working on being REAL scientists. We discussed how scientists come up with a question and then predict the outcome (or make a hypothesis), they then do an investigation and observe what they see happening, and record in their journals. We did a few investigations with colors and the kids thought it was great to make different colors just out of red, blue, and yellow.

While the students thought they knew what the outcome would be of mixing the colors they were really using the scientific part of their learning by observing the colors they made and then predicting what they could do to make a different shade of green, or purple. I heard lots of great scientific conversations as I was walking around!

The kids also had to share one plate of colors
per table so they had to work on their
cooperation skills!
