Getting Color Exploration Ready

Dive into this fun color exploration experiment with your kindergarteners today! There are just a couple simple materials you need to help your students enjoy the changing of the colors in this simple science experiment.  

You have these simple craft supplies already in your craft stash. This is a simple experiment to set up with:

  • Coffee Filters
  • Crayola Markers (black, brown and yellow) – NON Permanent
  • Popsicle Sticks
  • Tape
  • 2 Jars or Large Cups (We used see through glass, so that we could witness the whole reaction)
  • Water

Doing Color Exploration

Cut two coffee filters into large strips, about 2 inches wide. Take one marker and colored on a coffee filter strip and a second color colored on the other coffee filter strip.

Wrap the top of the coffee filter strip around a popsicle stick and taped it in place.

Next, fill cups with a few inches of water, just enough to reach the bottom tip of the coffee filter.

Next, rest the popsicle stick on the rim of the cup with the coffee filter in the cup, just barely touching the water.

Let the water raise up through the coffee filter and watch what happens to the color. It took about 10 minutes for a real reaction, more than just spreading color, to occur.

The Science Behind Color Exploration

Colors are made up of other colors. When we mix colors we can create new colors.
