Scientist of the Week #9

McKenzie was our scientist this week and she did a great job! Her experiment was about colors.

Set up and ready to go!


First she put a big dot of black washable marker onto a coffee filter. Then she dropped one or two drops of water onto it. We found out that the color black is made with other colors. In this case, it was mostly blue. But if you used a different marker, it may turn out differently.


Her second experiment, she dropped several different colors of food coloring into a glass of water. She then dipped in a folded coffee filter. It absorbed and separated the different colors. It was really neat!


Thanks, McKenzie, that was so cool!
