The yellow makes the water look dirty!

Ms. Lauren’s Investigations:

“The yellow makes the water look dirty!”

January 14, 2013

 

 During the week of January 14^th, the children in the afternoon investigated the color blue. The table consisted of three colors: blue, black, and white. Using paintbrushes, the children filled their paintbrush with different amounts of paint. The children enjoyed revealing the color blue created on white paper.

  Myrna observed all of the blue colors and said, “It looks like an ocean, a big one! We need a sun.” Myrna brought yellow paint to the table. When we added the yellow to the blue we noticed a change happened: our water turned green! “The yellow makes the water look dirty,” Dillon explained. The children brainstormed and decided the ocean needed seaweed! The children continued to add green and yellow to make plants for our ocean.
