🎨 7th Grade Scientists Turned Artists! 🧪
Our 7th-grade students put their experimental design and chemistry skills to the test by creating paint from natural materials! They researched binders, pigments, and solvents, then designed and executed their own experiments from start to finish.
Students formed hypotheses, crafted materials lists, wrote step-by-step procedures, collected data, and analyzed their results. Finally, they made claims about their chosen materials and provided scientific justifications for their successes (or challenges).
Check out these creative scientists who succeeded in making usable paint! 🖌️✨
