Learning Object:
This learning object is an interactive website where students can mix two or more colours in order to create new colours. They must also match the colours they create to the colours given. Then they are able to colour pictures using their personal colours.
Integration and Planning:
After having a few introductory lessons on the colour unit, including primary colours, secondary colours, how secondary colours are used, etc. I would use this multimedia object to further enhance the students’ understanding of creating colours. I have already planned for this lesson by doing the activities on the site myself. They were lots of fun and kept me engaged so I think they would keep grade 1 students engaged as well. They will be learning and reinforcing what they know while having fun.
Specific Learner Expectations for Grade 1 Science:
Compare and contrast colours, using terms such as lighter than, darker than, more blue, brighter than.
