  MIXING   COLOURS

You need
A pencil, Scissor, White cardboard or heavy white paper
crayons or markers, a ruler
a small bowl or a large cup (3-4inch, or 7-10 cm diameter rim)
 a paper cup
What to do

1.Use the bowl to trace a circle onto a piece of white cardboard and cut it out.
With the ruler, divide it into six approximately equal sections.
2.Colour the six sections with the colours of the spectrum as shown.
Try to colour as smoothly and evenly as possible.
3.poke a hole through the middle of the circle and push the pencil part of the
Way through.
4.Poke a  hole in the bottom of the paper cup, a little bit larger than the diameter
Of the pencil. Turn the cup upside down on a piece of paper, and put the pencil
through so the point rests on a paper on a table.
Adjust the colour wheel’s position on the pencil so that it is about 1/2  inch
(1-2 cm) above the cup.
5.Spin the pencil quickly and observe the colour wheel. Adjust as necessary so that
The pencil and wheel spin easily.

What happened:
The colours on the wheel are main colours in white light. When the wheel spins fast
Enough, the colours all appear to blend together , and the wheel looks white. Try
Experimenting with different colour combinations.
