How To Do

Let us follow the step-by-step guide for you to do this activity with your child.

1. Mark a dot of light green, 2cm from the bottom end on one of their blotting papers, by using the light green magic pen.
2. Write the name of the colour (light green).
3. Dip the strip in the water with the ink almost touching the water.
4. Your child should notice that different colours start to appear on the blotting paper. Get the children to observe and name the colours (blue and yellow).
5. Remind your child to handle the blotting paper carefully as it may tear.
6. When the strip is dry, stick it on the children’s science activity book.
7. Let the children explore further by repeating the same procedure using other colours.

• Purple dot separates into blue and red.
• Orange dot separates into yellow and red.
• Brown dot separates into many colours.
