Somewhere over the rainbow...
Today we mixed simple household items and made our own personal rainbow. The lesson was geared towards learning about the color wheel and seeing what happens when primary colors (red, yellow and blue) are mixed together to make secondary colors. (purple, orange and green).
First we find all our ingredients and throw them out on the table....
1 cup o' milk...
carefully pour that 1 cup o' milk in the bowl...careful not to slosh...
Three drops of red food color is squirted by a squirt towards the outer edge of the milk...
Next the squirt, squirts three blue drops of food color about 1/3 away from the red....still on the outer edge.
Now we grab the yellow and get to squirting three drops 1/3 away from the blue....
See all three drops, hanging out in a bowl of milk.
Mkay...the squirt is getting restless now and a little antsy about the fact that we are playing with his all time, favorite, coolest of all drinks...Milk....
But I talk him into grabbing a bottle of dish liquid....
We plop one drop of dish liquid right smack dab in the middle of our milk....
Then we wait for the show to begin....Ooooo....Ahhhhh.....Ooooo La, La...
After a few moments we are looking at our own personal rainbow...do you see the reds, oranges, blues, purples, yellow and greens? CooOool!!!!
Now you try it!!!
