Figure 1. Terms and Concepts Questions Bibliography. STEM Fun: How Does Tie Dye Work? - STEMJobs. History: Tie dying has been around long before the 1960s and 1970s – the decades many people associate with the colorful trend.
Before the term “tie dye” became popular, the practice was known as Shibori, a Japanese term that includes a wide variety of dyeing techniques. The practice has been used by many different cultures over the course of the past 6,000 years. How To Tie Dye: Nowadays, tie dye works by taking a white (or light colored) article of clothing, folding or crumpling it up, and putting different colored dyes on sections of the clothing.
How to Make Goldenrod Paper - Educational Innovations Blog. By: Tami O’Connor Gone But Not Forgotten Many years ago at Educational Innovations we had heard rumors that our wonderful goldenrod paper that served as an easy to find indicator paper was being discontinued for environmental reasons.
If you haven’t seen it before, it is was a golden-yellow paper that turned a deep red when it came in contact with a base like washing soda or Windex®. The process was reversed if an acid such as vinegar was sprayed on the paper. Apparently, because the fibers in the paper were saturated with golden colored dye, Goldenrod paper was not able to be recycled. Knowing that shortly it would be impossible to find, and also knowing that teachers around the world loved this paper, Educational Innovations bought up as much as we could feasibly fit in our warehouse. Since it is still referenced in many science journals, we have decided that teachers might be interested in making their own goldenrod paper to use with their students.
