Painting With Colored Ice Cubes
In this one-time class, students will observe what happens when primary colored ice melts to make new colors. They will paint a rainbow and another picture too. Please freeze 4 RED, BLUE, and YELLOW ice cubes the night before.

****I schedule a few weeks out at a time, if none of the times above work, click the button called "show alternative times" and create a new section. Often other learners will join in after a section is created.**** In this class, I will guide the students as we do the science experiment together. Students can conduct the experiment alongside the teacher from home or simply observe. There will be time for questions and showing off your experiment as we go. Since this is for young learners and might be a bit messy, having a parent nearby is highly recommended. We will take premade yellow, blue, and red ice cubes (2 drops of food coloring per cube and frozen overnight). Please do NOT freeze any other colors. Only RED, BLUE, and YELLOW. They will follow directions to let them melt in different combinations to discover the secondary colors (ORANGE, GREEN, PURPLE). While we are waiting for the ice cubes to melt, we will have a discussion about colors. Once the ice has melted a little bit, we will dip the paintbrush into the melted water and use that to color our pictures. Make sure you have a washcloth or paper towels nearby just in case. A tray (cookie sheet) for under the paper is a good idea in case it seeps through. Lay flat to dry. They will show off their artwork by tilting their cameras. DO NOT LIFT UP DRIPPING ARTWORK! (if you don't have the ice cubes made at home, they can put drops of food coloring into bowls of water to color a picture) Other Color Science Classes offered by me: -Be a Scientist! Make Upside Down Fireworks in a Jar (Ages 4-8) -Color Science: Make a Bubbly Potion (Age 4-8) -Mixing Colors and Making a Fizzling Rainbow (Age 3-7)
Learning Goals
Students will learn what primary colors mix to become secondary colors.
They will observe what happens when they paint.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love looking around me and asking questions. "What if....?" Science is full of "what if" questions. Come explore simple science experiments with me. Most of the items can be found around your home or easily found at the store. I also have a love for math... especially math games. Join me as we make math fun! Many parents and learners appreciate the way I bring laughter to the classroom.
I have been an educator for 10 years: online ESL teacher for 5 years, and a Kindergarten teacher for 5 years before that. I have worked with children of all ages in various summer school and online activities. I have a Bachelor's in Music Education from Boise State University and a Masters in Pastoral Studies from Multnomah University. I live in Idaho, USA with my husband and my 2 young daughters (Ages 2 and 5). We enjoy reading books, getting a little messy, and taking walks together.
