Hi, this is Tracy Cheney for Expert Village and we're learning about primary colors and secondary colors today. This is an experiment you can do right at your kitchen table with the kids with food coloring and we're going to use milk. One, because our world would b e very white without color and also we can see it so much better than if we were using water. So, our three primary colors and this is why they come as dye and everything else because you're expected to be able to mix them yourself. The three primary colors are yellow, red, and blue, now you gotta memorize those. Now let's mix them and see what happens, if I take the red and put it into the yellow, what do you think is going to happen? We get orange, so there's the secondary color right there. Alright, let's take red and add the blue to it and let's see what happens to this, I think I'll wait on that one. I think I'll go this way, ah, we'll go this way. So, yellow and the blue make green, and now let's do blue and red, we'll get the darkest color now, and we get the purple. So, it's like magic, we've gone from the primary colors of red, yellow and blue to the secondary colors orange, green, and purple. Alright, we're talking about primary colors again. Here's our red, our yellow and our blue. You can do this with cellophane with kids. You can put the two colors together and they can hold it up to the light and they can really see how these two things work together. So, here we have the red and the blue together making purple, and if you did it with colored cellophane they can see this very clearly and they love holding it up and playing with it. Alright, the red and the yellow making orange and then lets put the yellow and the blue together and we get green, alright, and again we get the purple. Very clear, easy way to see how primary colors make the secondary and that's what makes up our world, all these colors.
