Answer 1

My advice would be to let different groups of kids experiment with the three possible color changes.  For example: red and yellow make orange.  If you mix them in equal amounts you get this shade of orange.  If you add more yellow, you get this shade.  More red gives you this.  There is no way to order the experiment to get all three color changes out of one bottle without using other chemicals.  So if you divide up the group into three groups you can let them see who comes up with the nicest colors by adding more or less of a certain primary color.

Answer 2

i don't think there's any possible way to do what you're thinking of.just keep dumping the water out.....
