Our Colour Inquiry

We continued our colour inquiry on Friday. We read a book about three white mice who were hiding from a cat. However, each mouse fell into a bucket of paint (one red, one yellow and one blue). As the mice climbed out of the paint buckets, their paint mixed together and they turned purple, orange and green! After we read the book, the students further explored mixing paint colours. Some students continued to investigate how to make purple, green and orange, while others investigated how to make different shades of these colours.

Here are some of our initial questions we had about colours.
