Colour Mixing

This activity was really fun!

We used the droppers to place coloured water into the small dishes and observed the mixed colours. We also lined the clear bottles up and shone a flashlight through them and viewed the colour they made on the surface of a white piece of paper we placed behind them.

I wasn't blogging when we did this - so I will repeat this activity to take pictures and show you our results.

Some colours did not mix when we shone the light through the bottles. I was told by 'Science Bob' that the rounded bottles threw my experiment off. He said I should have tried putting the colours into ziplock bags and hold them up to a window for better results. He also said to experiment with how much coloring to use for the best effect.
OK this weeks activity! :) This will give me a good reason to use my new light table!

The blue and yellow to make green worked great - so did red and yellow to make orange - but not as well - the blue and red to make purple did not work at all.
