A scientific approach to color mixing, this set of materials differs from what is currently available in the marketplace. It has been designed to get children to understand one to one correspondence, color identification, color formation, and differentiation.
Each circle represents a formula based on the number of drops and color of each drop. The idea behind this activity is to begin explorations in understanding how quantities affect the end result. Children begin by matching the color and the number of drops, placing the napkin over the drops and watching the color changes take place. They can create circular rainbows with smooth color gradations. The set comes complete with a full set of bottles that contain droppers, and two sets of master circles printed on plastic.
Beginning Activity: The colors presented are color box 1, so children are introduced to it and as the colors mix, they are slowly guided into color box 2. Match the number of colored water drops to the number of circles. One to one correspondence and color identification.
The set contains:
- Three glass bottles with droppers
- One plastic tray
- One color reusable master made from premium 1/8" thick acrylic
*food coloring not included.
