This year’s National Chemistry Week was about fibers. One lab resources was Dyeing to Color Fabric with Kool-aid. Pull out old, white, cotton t-shirts to experiment. Read more about dyeing fabric at Dharma Trading. Any dye adheres better to cotton with a mordant. My teens also do this Koolaid Serial Dilution lab. Here is a Kool-aid molarity lab. When I teach unit conversions, the kids must make a five ounce cup of Kool-aid Each kid gets a different flavor of Kool-aid; each type has a different mass. The kids have to reduce the recipe for two quarts of Koolaid-aid to one five ounce serving. Below is a video about the Kool-aid conversion lab. We save leftover Kool-aid packs for the series dilution and dye labs. Sticking to a budget doesn’t mean you can’t have fun or present your teen a challenge.
