Branching Out Theme of the Week: Looking At Light And Color

Have you ever noticed how things look differently in the sun compared to the shade? Place 2 pictures of the same scene next to each other taken in the early morning, mid-afternoon and evening.  What do you notice that is the same and different – color!  We will use our magnifiers and mirrors to see what we see differently in different light.  How does it change the color of objects?  What new shades of color do you see?  When you are driving in the car with your child, talk about the colors of things you see and how they look different…you’ll be amazed how observant children can be!
