LESSON OVERVIEW
Introduce students to color mixing, color theory, and the engineering design process. Includes 2 hands-on activities! First, students predict the results of mixing two colors, then create color spinners to visually "mix" the colors without the mess of paints. Next, students are lead through the engineering design process to create a holder for their color spinners.
This activity also is a great pairing with reading Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot for Dot Day! Find more ideas for Dot Day STEM on our blog post here!
