When I heard it was time for Science Night at my school I just had to get involved. I am super excited to be a part of the Science Night fun. I can't wait for a second chance to work with my Splash of Color Kit that was provided to me by Steve Spangler Science.

How fast can you mix 24 different colors using only red, yellow and blue water? Experiment by adding droplets of primary color to the 24 tiny mixing cups and create an amazing splash of rainbow colors! Once the mixing is done, don't throw your masterpiece down the drain! Pull out the bag of Water Jelly Crystals and drop a pebble-size crystal into each of the compartments. In just a few minutes, you will end up with 24 jiggly, jelly-like crystals in all the colors you made!

What i love most about these kits is that very young children can use them. I have used the Steve Spangler Splash of Color Kit with Kindergarten children with great results. This kit provides multiple opportunities for young scientists to explore, discover and investigate using age appropriate materials.
Children can also learn for the first time how to set up an investigation using these simple tools.
I think one of the things I love the most about working with the kit is that no two investigations are exactly the same but through guidance and discussing our results we can learn that we can recreate different colors just by starting with blue, yellow and red. We also learned that these results are predictable.
For Science Night we are getting our inspiration from firstgraderatlast.blogspot.com and we are going to try to make the above coffee filter turkeys with our color mixtures so check back and come see our progress!
