In 2B, we planned an investigation to explore the 3 primary colours and how they combine to form other colours. We took 5 beakers and filled up the 1st, 3rd and 5th beaker with a solution of the 3 primary colours. Inserted folded up paper towels linking all 5 beakers for the fluid to transfer into the empty beakers. This resulted in the primary colours combining to form new colours in the empty beakers.
The aim was to focus on making observations and discussing what may happen (predictions).
We recorded the findings in the form of pictures, video discussions and in our books in the form of diagrams.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working scientifically and were fully immersed into the lessons.
