Planning, predicting, observing, and concluding...

Since couple of weeks, our little scientists in Room 8 have been exploring primary colours. Today I had food colouring out and asked interested curious minds what would they like to do with the materials at hand. They suggested we mix colours and make new colours. I told them that they were scientists and scientists follow a procedure when they are experimenting and researching. So my friends got to work! They planned how they are going to conduct the experiment. Then predicted what will happen, next they put their plan into action. They observe what happened and made their claims and conclusions based on their observation!

We also used paint to make secondary colours following the same scientific procedure.
