Class Experience

This is a fun and interactive way for students to explore color mixing. They will be surprised when they see primary colors (red, blue, yellow) mix to create secondary colors (orange, green, purple). We will be doing the experiments in class. Since this is made for ages 3-7, parent assistance is highly recommended, but not required. See the supply list below.

They will be amazed at our simple science experiments. I will list the inexpensive ingredients for the experiments in the supply section below. We will be doing them as a class, but if they do not have the right supplies they can improvise or just watch. 

Make sure you have a washcloth nearby just in case. A tray for each day is recommended to contain the mess. They will show off their artwork by tilting their cameras. DO NOT LIFT UP DRIPPING ARTWORK!

Day 1: WALKING WATER/ COLORED CARNATIONS (or any white flower)

Day 2: MAKING A FIZZLING RAINBOW

Day 3: PAINTING WITH COLORED ICE CUBES 
- please pre-make RED, BLUE, YELLOW colored ice cubes (4 of each color)

Learning Goals

By the end of this 3-day camp, they will have learned the colors of the rainbow in order by mixing colors and enjoying fun experiments.
They will know what are the primary and secondary colors.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
A parent nearby is recommended, but most of these experiments the child can do on their own. A parent may need to help with pouring and cleanup.
