Geometric Shapes: k1Art
Ask students to name shapes. Differentiate between geometric and organic shapes, and 2D and 3D.
Geometric shapes (2D):
Circles, Ovals, Squares, Rectangles, Triangles
Geometric forms (3D):
cones, cubes, cylinders, slabs, pyramids and spheres

Primary and Secondary Colors: dying eggs
Materials:
6 boiled eggs per student
boiling water
small containers
food coloring
vinegar
paper towels
"egg lifters" (tongs, pasta spoons, etc)
white crayon
Instructions:
Students were asked what is a primary color? Colors that can not be made using other colors. What are the primary colors? Yellow, red, blue. What are secondary colors? Colors formed by combining primary colors. What are the secondary colors? Orange, Purple, Green.
These were listed out and then students were asked to form hypothesis of what 2 primary colors they thought formed each secondary color.
Students will need to dye three eggs each color. They only have 6 eggs.
Dye three yellow, dye three red (one of which is already yellow), and dye three blue (one that is already yellow, and one already red).
*Optional: each egg after first dying can be drawn on with white crayon to act as a wax resist.
