When I mix black and red it makes black and reddish!

Ms. Lauren’s Investigations:

When I mix black and red it makes black and reddish!

January 22-25, 2013

 During the week of January 22^nd, the children continued to explore shades and tones using paint. The children mixed red, white, and/or black.

 

 

 

 We needed to problem solve how we would get enough paint onto our trays. “I need more paint. It needs to like squirt out,” Seamus explained. As we looked at the materials on the table carefully Seamus problem solved by saying, “I know, I can just pour it!” Once the children began to mix the colors, Grace noticed a color change. “When I mix red and white together it gets pink.” Lily also noticed the color changed when she mixed the colors and said, “When I mixed the black and then the red it makes black and reddish.”
