As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

Making Colors


Recently we have been learning more about colors. Talking about how to make colors, change the shade of colors, what happens when we mix certain colors together. Students were surveyed and predicted which color when mixed with red would make orange! It was a great peer teachign moment as one student used previous knowledge of primary colors to help students learn that red and yellow make orange!


Of course we had to test it ourselves and conducted our very own experiement of mixing colors. Wow what a fun and messy way to learn about the color wheel!
