This is a cool science experiment we did on absorption and color mixing! The chickadees really liked this one. This is an experiment we conducted with our Green Kid Craft box we get.
First - we colored two glasses of water. One full of yellow and one full of blue. I think you could easily use food coloring to do this. Leave the middle cup empty.
The next step was to take some paper towels, fold them up, and put them from the two cups full of water to the empty one in the middle.
Then we watched as the paper towel absorbed the water and deposited it into the middle cup! Amazing! The middle cup turned green! I would love to do this with other colors. Try blue and red to make purple, and try yellow and red to make orange! It was truly awesome. Even I was quite impressed.
As a bonus experiment they sent us markers to mark along the edge of a paper towel and stick it into water.
The kids also thought it was incredibly cool that the marker flowed with the water as the paper towel absorbed the water. What cool science!
Next up in Science - Botany :)
Enjoy and have a hats and chickadees day!
