Optional Science Fair?!  It was a no brainer.  Blake is all about science and I am all about getting him interested in school.  I have very fond memories of the science fair as a kid so I could hardly wait to help him learn, create, explore.

Picking a topic that was age appropriate was a bit tough.  He always loves to make volcanoes so I started there and then thought we could add another level to it...we landed on color volcanoes!

His Hypothesis:  
If you mix 2 colors together it will make another color.

What he learned was:
Only mixing two PRIMARY colors together make another color, if you mix other non-primary colors, you will just make a variation of one of those colors...KINDERGARTEN.MIND.BLOWN.

So, we started with a fun melted crayon color wheel...

Added lots of paint



Showed the combos we tried in a color wheel


And let sister help because she is READY for Kindergarten ;)


Ta-da!



It turned out great.  He loved it and got a ribbon which he thought was cool.
