Miss Carrie she noticed that a lot of our friends were mixing colors last week.  Some of them mixed paint and some of them mixed colored water.  When they mixed red and yellow, it made orange.  When they mixed blue and yellow, it made green.  When they mixed red and blue, it made purple.  Miss Carrie wondered what would happen if we drew with lots of different colors on paper, and then put a color filter on top of the drawings, what would happen?  Would the colors we drew with look the same or different, or would the color disappear?  Hmmm.

So we drew pictures on a big piece of paper.  We wrote our names.  Then Miss Carrie passed out color filters in different shapes.  We put them on top of our drawings.  Guess what happened?













Colors changed!  Colors disappeared!  We had so much fun looking at the different results of our experiment.

DO THIS AT HOME:  Mix paint, mix colored water, or do artwork and look at it through different filters (sunglasses, 3-d glasses will work).  Talk about experiment and guess what will happen. Emphasize same and different.
