Chemical Reaction

The children explored a chemical reaction today in our science area. We coloured white vinegar with food colouring using the primary colours and invited the children to drop it onto a mystery substance. 

The children had many guesses for what they thought the powder was as they watched the chemical reaction.

The reaction of the liquid with the powder was fascinating and the children noticed that the primary colours mixed to create new secondary colours.
