Color Wheel

Paints aren’t the only art supplies that mix colors to create different colors – crayons, pencils, and markers do too. Different combinations of colors are mixed together to create each shade – even black! In our next experiment, we’re going to separate the colors in markers and find out which combinations make up each color.

Materials

Procedure

  • Draw spots on the coffee filter with the markers (Don’t draw them too close together – keep plenty of space between each color)
  • Add a few drops of water to each color
  • Observe the way the spots expand and colors separate
  • Discuss the combinations of colors involved
  • Allow the coffee filter to dry for best results
