Our classroom transformed into a mini-laboratory today as the children became scientists exploring the magic of colour! Using clear jars of vibrant primary-coloured water, the children took part in a hands-on experiment to discover what happens when colours collide. There were gasps of excitement and plenty of "oohs" and "aahs" as they carefully poured and mixed the liquids themselves. They watched with wide eyes as the blue and yellow swirled together to create a bright green, and red and blue transformed into a deep purple. By taking the lead in their own investigations, the children were able to see the immediate "cause and effect" of their actions, sparking wonderful scientific discussions about how many new shades they could create.
