In a recent STEM activity, grade VII Xavierians embarked on a tie-dyeing adventure, where they learned fundamental chemistry concepts in a memorable way.

As they folded and twisted their fabric, they explored mathematical divisions and geometric patterns. Tying their fabric into spirals, they created their own fractals, marveling at the beauty of basic division as rubber bands divided their cloth into colorful sections.

Measuring liquids and volumes, they discovered the different rates at which dyes dissolve, depending on their form. And then, with eager hands, they poured the dyes onto their fabric, creating their own color spectrums, mixing primary colors to create secondary ones.

Their excitement was scintillating as they watched their creations unfold, witnessing the science of tie-dyeing in action.
