STEM plus Art

In an effort to include STEM into some of my art lessons with the Pre-K(STEAM), I decided to let them be color mixing scientists today. 
I picked up these cell trays at a recycle center a while back and have been wanting to use them for a while now. 

I put out jars of liquid watercolor in primary colors and eyedroppers.

We discussed primary colors and how to combine them to make secondary colors. 

We also discussed using control with the eyedroppers as the cells are very small and the eyedropper holds a lot of liquid.  We will be doing this again soon.  The children wanted to spend more time than we had on this project.
