Chemistry to Dye for

Introduction

Students will explore how color is created through light, chemistry, and molecular magic. From the surprising story of synthetic dyes to the energy of fireworks and the glow of color-changing reactions, students will uncover the chemistry of pigments and the physics of light.

With hands-on experiments, DIY builds (hello, spectrometers!), and deep dives into real-world applications, learners will use what they discover to design a final project that lights up the science behind color.
