Rainbow

Science Experiement

Red, blue and yellow are called the primary colors. Just by mixing these colors, you can get all the colors of the rainbow:

RED + YELLOW = ORANGE

RED + BLUE = PURPLE

BLUE + YELLOW = GREEN

What you need:
-red, blue and yellow food color
-1 cup milk
-dishwashing liquid
-shallow bowl or plate

What to do:
-Pour 1 cup of milk into the bowl
-Add 3 drops of red food color to one edge of the bowl
-1/3 of the way away, add 3 drops of blue food color
-1/3 of the way away add 3 drops of yellow
don't mix or jiggle the bowl

-Squeeze a drop of dish soap in the center of the bowl

What I saw:
The colours swirled and made lots of patterns.

What Happened:
The dishwashing liquid does not mix with the milk. Instead it floats on top and spreads over the surface. As it spreads, it grabs the food color we dropped into it. Where the colors meet, they combine to form new colors:

RED + YELLOW = ORANGE

RED + BLUE = PURPLE

BLUE + YELLOW = GREEN

Mothers Day Classic

On Sunday,it was Mother's Day. We did the Mother's Day Classic. It is a walk or run to raise money for breast cancer research. Runners have to run either 4km or 8 kilometers and walkers only do 4 km.
My Uncle Robbie did the 4 kilometer run and so did Margie and Daniel. Our whole family did the 4km walk with Ninny and Pa. It was fun. I asked Mum if could go up further I was a long way in front of them. When they came to do the lap around the track I had already finished and was waiting with my bag there for about 10 minutes. I got a medal in the bag and so did everyone else it was a great walk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We will do it again next year.
