Red and Blue

We have been exploring colors in Kindergarten. We have also been learning how to spell our color words. Last Thursday, we worked with Ms. Fleming's Kindergarten class to experiment with color mixing.

Since we have learned about the colors red and blue, we decided we would become scientists to see what happens when you mix the two colors together.

Like all good scientists do, we first made predictions on what would happen when we mix red and blue water together. Many of the Kindergartners believed that mixing red and blue together would make purple. Some other predictions were that the water would turn green or maybe even yellow.

Next, we carried out our experiment to see if our predictions were correct.

We found out that mixing red and blue make purple!

Then, it was the boys and girls' turn to test color mixing. Each kindergartner received two scoops of yogurt with red food dye on one scoop and blue on the other. The students then used a spoon to mix the two colors together to get... purple yogurt!

Who knew that learning about colors could be so much fun?!
