Blending Colors

Today, in science we talked about blending colors.  Did you know that red and yellow make orange?  Well, that's what we discovered today.  I used a die-cut machine to cut out a leaf from a coffee filter.  Then the kids colored their leaves with red and yellow washable markers.  We used a spray bottle filled with water to "water" our leaf.  The colors mixed and turned the leaves orange.  Then we wrote about our experiment in our learning journal.
