Tye Dye Rainbows

So we have this chart up from other activities this week . And they been working on mixing colors all week . So today they where given 6 jars Three with red, blue and yellow in each one and three empty one. Working in pairs they made green , orange and purple. We use eye droppers.

We drop the paint onto our coffee filter . When dry we cut a little arch out from bottom . I use these white shirt boxes for a lot of things but great for messy project like this and they can dry right in there and they stack . Prefect idea with messy art .

Rainbow spin art

First i showed the children my 6 part circle colored . I then took a sharp pencil and spin the circle and see what you see colors disappear and you see more white . The colors disappear.so instead of 6 colors you see while . this is the reverse of what happens when rainbow is from light . It separated the colors .Then after i explained like when a rainbow disappears when some light hit it . We did spin art i put 6 color markers together for this and all got a round and i turn on spinier .

We read Clifford scholastic Oh, The colors of Spring

It is raining here and prefect song for today is

I'm a little rain cloud

I'm a rain cloud in the sky

I Pick up moisture as i float by

When i get full i can't hold no more

I open up and let it pour .

Rainbow

First we started with showing swirling colors , talking about concept of how the colors in rainbow form . I took a bowl with milk , dish soap drop and food color and tooth pick . Ask what will happen , have them help adding 3 or 4 different colors ,swirly around see what happen . Add a drop of soap ask what will happy "separates" Like Rainbow when it disappears.

Then we made a cereal rainbow with some left over cereal i had . let them glue with q-tip and glue . I have many old glue bottle i need to use up so this method works great .

we also started charting the weather i think this week going to great week to chart , we going to have warm sun 50 , rain and even snow .
