Today we did a science experiment about black. We learned that scientists have to write down their procedure so that other scientists could repeat their experiments. If scientists can't repeat an experiment they won't believe the results.
Our procedure:
We took a coffee filter and used smelly markers to make a black dot in the middle. Then, we added drops of water.
Our Observations:
We noticed that the colour changed. We discovered that there is orange, pink, and blue inside the black.
This experiment helped us to answer 2 of our colour questions:
1. Can you make colours out of black?
Yes! When we added water to the black marker it separated into colours.
2. How do you make black?
Mix all the colours together to make black. When we separated the marker colour we saw turquoise, blue, orange, pink, yellow, and peach.
Now we wonder why the marker did this? We wonder what would happen if we re-did the experiment with a different colour?
Tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday. We will be going to Nosehill. Please be sure that you are wearing warm layers, hats, mittens, warm socks, and good boots for walking in wet grass. Please also bring a small water bottle and an extra snack.
