Mixing Colors with Pipettes
Fri, May 4, 2012
Materials: Food coloring (or Steve Spangler's “Color Mixing Tablets”), clear cups (or Steve Spangler's mini-mixing tray), plastic droppers (or Steve Spangler's pipettes).
Activity: Fill cups with yellow, red or blue water. Use pipettes to add colored water to a color mixing tray. Watch colors mix.
Research Questions: How many colors can you make? How did you make these colors? Compare these solutions: (2 drops of blue + 5 drops of yellow) and (4 drops of blue + 10 drops of yellow). Are they the same color?
