Water Experiment

Soaking colors.

First we did a preliminary experiment where we put a dot of color on a small piece of coffee filter.

Then dipped the edge in a little bit of water.  And watched it absorb the water.

While it did that it pulled the color up with it.  Some colors stayed the same, while other colors that are blends, like black and brown, green etc....showed the hidden colors inside.

Here's all the soaked colors.

Can you tell which color is which?

I'll start with the top and go around clockwise.

Purple, Green, Brown, Blue, Red, Orange, Black.


Then we decided to turn it into a crafty project....click here to see what we did next!
