Colours on Water

After watching the video about "Colours on Water", the children asked if they could do the same. So I prepared some acrylic colours and a pail of water. After a few attempt, yet the colours are so light and couldn't see anything. Some children tried as well. Yet, the colour turned out to be very blur and no clear image at all. 

Since it was not successful, we shall try it again when we got the suitable material. We moved down stairs to the school hall to carry out the milk experiment. I have some fresh millk, some food colouring and some dishwasher. 

We had a discussion on the next colour. After a round of voting, these were the colours and sequence that the children would like to have:

1) golden
2) silver
3) black
4) white
5) grey
6) brown

Parents could read up some books related to the colours that the children mentioned above. The children could share it with others in the class in the future.
