Hydro-dipping and Dish Soap Painting
Students will experiment with stirring colors and creating effects, to learn through experimentation while creating a piece of art. The purpose of this lesson is to use visual arts to explore scientific processes and learn about physical properties. The outcome should be one or two successful pieces of visual art. Read the entire lesson before diving in.Change of state and the physical traits luster, malleability, density, viscosity, precipitate are related more to Science.
About dish soap painting:
This is a reduction method where a base layer is applied, set to dry, then liquid soap creates a design that will resist the last paint layer. A final layer of solid color is applied, dries, and finally the soap is rinsed off.
About hydro-dipping:
Cover the surface of an enclosed body of water with spray paint (in a bucket or bin). Swirl it with a stirrer or stick to create marbled effects. Then dip an object into the water to allow the marbled paint to stick to the surface.
Once students have compiled information and results, they will collaborate and plan how to present their work. They will use communication skills to share their technical information with an audience.

In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.
Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.
Students will read the novel, "The Lion of Mars", design & launch paper rockets, and then design a sustainable Mars Colony inspired by the novel. This hands-on lesson is scheduled to take around 15
