THE SCIENCE OF COLOURING MIXING
.


This experiment required 7 cups with water in and paper towel between them. Food colouring was added, red to the first and last, blue to the third and yellow to the fifth, with just the plain water in the ones in between. The water slowly moved up the paper towel, mixing together in the cups in between, red and blue making purple, blue and yellow making green and the yellow and red making orange. The red and blue was the slowest to mix and make the purple. This action was due to what is called Capillary Action, where water is able to move up or along narrow spaces without being affected by gravity. It is how plants get water up through their roots bringing nutrients up the leaves...
ROOM 26 ART PROJECTS

Every fortnight, the students take part in Art Lessons with our Visual Arts Specialist Miss Randall. The students are currently working on re-creating the portrait of a famous artist using water colours, then turning the portrait into 3D.
