What you need:
scissors and clear red, blue, and yellow plastic sheet
Cut the sheets into strips of the same size.
Place yellow and blue strips on a white surface.
Green appears where they overlap and the colors mix.
Add a red strip to begin a pattern of squares.
See how red and yellow mix to form orange.
Add another red strip.
See how purple forms where red and blue mix.
Add more strips. Red, blue, and yellow mix to form 3 other colors.
Where the same colors overlap, bright yellow, red, and blue form.
How do you know which way to lay the colors? Where did you purchase the materials. I love colors, and how they mix. I think it would be cool to make a color wheel along with this project. I would love for you to give me the strips!! Can I have them? <3

Great experiment! Is the paper very expensive that way all the students could make their own?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great experiment to show students how you get other colors by mixing primary colors with each other.
ReplyDeleteFigure out how to create colors with different combinations. Further to develop a lesson plan. E.g. how to create a color of orange.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you lay the color strips in a 1,2,3 order it doesn't matter what color is first.
ReplyDeleteThe material is avalible at any office supply store and cost around $6.
You create the color orange by overlapping the colors red and yellow.
