My Project

When most people think of tie dye they don’t think of STEM - science, technology, engineering and maths, yet Tie Dyeing involves all of these STEM activities.

Creating colorful patterns on fabric is a fun and practical way for students to experience and understand STEM

When Tie Dyeing you start with tying up your fabric. The patterns you fold in your fabric are mathematic divisions of the cloth formulated to create specific affects. Rubber bands are used to hold your folds in place and are a great way to mark areas to dye in different colors; students with disabilities can see basic division happening before their eyes as they place the rubber bands on to divide their fabric for dyeing.

Next comes making up your dyes - students learn about measuring liquids and the volumes different containers can hold. With careful observation children may notice that the different dyes dissolve at different rates as some are powders and some are granules. Fibre reactive dyes need soda ash solution to bond the dyes with the fabric - chemistry.

The part everyone loves best is pouring the dyes onto their fabric. Students will be able to create their own color spectrum by mixing the primary dye colors to make secondary dye colors - turquoise and yellow to make green, turquoise and magenta to make purple and magenta and yellow to make orange. By varying the amount of each primary color you apply your children will be able to see the transition between primary and secondary colors. More yellow than turquoise gives you lime green, more magenta than turquoise gives you violet etc. Student will be able to see the marvel of colors blending in front of their eyes.
