Organic changes of chemicals found in the sun above, sand below and salts around will be demonstrated. By boiling water and breaking minerals, we will observe a “show and tell” distribution of color compounds. These stages signify three distinct stages of transformation expressed through the color scale: light, medium and dark. We will use citric acid, salt, and iron to articulate this range of liquids and semi-liquids.
The chemical compound expression of plant matter can be altered to create a variety of colors from one source. Students will create a range of colors from select dye material through acid and alkaline agents.
