I taught the 6th grade a lesson on mixing colors to create tints and shades. They had to create 3 tints and 3 shades to build and ice cream cone and name it. This is a great exercise in color mixing!
We also talked about being ready for summer and their excitement- then they got to choose the name for their ice cream treats! Fun!
We also hit complimentary colors by having the background paper be a compliment. I walked around with the paper and they had to tell me the compliment of their ice cream.
