How fast can you mix 24 different colors using only red, yellow and blue water? Combine art and science as students experiment by adding droplets of primary color to the 24 tiny mixing cups and create an amazing splash of rainbow colors! Discover how to mix a rainbow of colors, and learn how scientists keep track of portions when they experiment with different colors and materials. Introduce the basic color wheel to curious minds. If kids don't become scientists, they're sure to become artists! Use the large test tubes to introduce students to the concept of color mixing and how the dye actually filters the light. Next, turn the class loose with enough materials for 8 color mixing stations. Teach art, science, and cooperation skills all in the same lesson.

What's included?

The classroom kit includes supplies for 24 students working in groups...
• 8 mini-mixing trays
• Coloring Solution
• 3 large test tubes
• 24 pipettes

• An excellent activity guide (if we say so ourselves)

What does it teach?

A teacher in Texas writes, “You know you’ve found a winner when your students are willing to give up recess to keep doing science. I had to physically remove the pipettes from their fingers to get them to stop! I’ve created a room of color mixologists.”
