Day 3 - Science/Art - Primary/Secondary Colors

        The boys learned about primary colors this summer, and yesterday/today they learned about the secondary colors! In order to have some fun with colors and color combining, I found this little science/art experiment that they loved! Here is the link to where I found the experiment (It's experiment #2):  http://www.buzzle.com/articles/kindergarten-science-experiments.html

        Before I brought them over to the table, I colored some random circles on a coffee filter and dropped the water on it to see how it would spread and what it would do. Of course, as soon as I did this, they realized I was up to something over there and they had to come check it out and do it immediately! :-)  Wade drew big circles around the outside of the filter and one big circle in the middle, while Wyatt decided to make about twice as many small circles all around. Then I used my handy dandy flavor injector (it's all I had...lol), and dropped water droplets all over their "pictures". Then we just let them dry for probably 3-4 hours (though it was likely dry before I realized it was...) and they were dry and beautiful! Wade thinks we should take them, add a stem and make them into beautiful flowers! Sounds like an awesome plan to me, so I guess I'm cutting flower stems from construction paper after they go to bed! Once they are turned into flowers I'll post a new picture! We've had tons of fun the last few days, and I'm even reigning in my OCD about not being behind since we're a few sections behind still from Monday! ;-)  Go us! LOL! On to Day 4 tomorrow! When you look at the pictures, mine is on the far right, Wade's is the middle one, and Wyatt's is the left one!
