A Leafy Science Experiment

What will happen when you add water to a leaf that has been colored red and yellow?

Why, you get orange of course.

Directions:

1. Die cut leaves out of coffee filters.  If your school does not have a die cut machine, simply cut with scissors.
2. Have your children color the leaf with red and yellow marker.
3. Next, they will use a water dropper to cover the leaf with water.
4. Finally, bring the group back together to discuss your findings.
