Red, Blue, Yellow

Yellow, Green, Purple

2. Check all the materials that are suitable for a natural colour wheel:

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers & Creative Plan

4. In one sentence, explain how you could make the colour green using natural materials.

5. List three different natural materials you will use for your colour wheel (at least five different materials are required in the lesson — plan extra):

6. Plan your colour wheel: In the circle below, draw lightly where you will place at least five colour sections. Label each section with the colour name and the material you will glue there.

7. Reflection: After making your wheel, share with a partner one choice you made. Write a short sentence to explain why you chose that material for its colour.

Differentiation: Use pre-cut materials or extra adult help for students who need fine motor support. Advanced students can plan a colour gradient or complementary pairs.

Extension: Try photographing your finished wheel and writing one sentence about which colours were easiest or hardest to find in nature.
