Slide 2: I can Statements/GPO

GPO: Communicate Ideas

I communicated ideas because I gathered enough research to be able to put down information on
a foldable. Through that foldable, I communicated ideas about the history of tie dye, the process
of absorption, the types of mixtures, etc.

I can do research about mixtures, processes, tie dye, etc.

I can make my own tie dye shirt.
I can relate my research into making my tie dye shirt.

Slide 3: History of Tie-Dye

Tie Dye methods were present way back in the early sixth century in India, Japan, and
Africa. The oldest tie dye tradition is called Bandhani, which involved “tying small pints of
thread and dip dying, resulting in designs featuring small dots,” (Seam Work). Another version
of the modern day tie dye, in Japan, is called Shibori. The Japanese mainly used shades of blue
to dye their clothing, that were usually made of silk. The method of tie dying finally reached the
United States in the 1960s because of the hippie movement.

Slide 4: Process of Absorption

The process of absorption is when matter takes in another substance. The absorbed
substance is then spread throughout the matter that absorbed it. This process is related to tie-
dying because the matter taking in another substance is the t-shirt, while the other substance
being absorbed is the tie dye and the water. It is related because the tie dye and the water seeps
into the shirt, getting absorbed. This in turn allows the color to also be absorbed, changing the
color of the shirt.

Slide 5: Different Types of Mixtures

There are three types of mixtures: a solution, suspension, and colloid. A solution is a
homogenous mixture where one substance is dissolved into another substance. An example of
this would be sugar dissolving into water. A suspension is created by stirring two or more
ingredients. The particles would be large enough to be seen by a regular eye or a magnifying
glass. An example of this would be orange juice with pulp because the pulp floats around the
juice. Lastly, the colloid is a homogeneous combination of a solid/liquid mixed within a
liquid/gas solvent. An example of this would be insecticide sprays.
Slide 6: Identify Solutions and Parts of a Solution

A solution is a homogeneous type of mixture of two or more substances. It has a solute

and a solvent. The solvent is usually the liquid where the solute dissolves into. The solute is the
substance that dissolves. An example would be sugar and water. Sugar would be the solute, and
water the solvent.

Slide 7: Soluble and Insoluble Substances

Solubility is the physical property that describes the ability of a chemical substance to
dissolve in a solvent. Substances that completely dissolve in water are soluble, while insoluble
substances are substances that do not dissolve. Soluble substances include salt, sugar, and some
detergents. Some insoluble substances include sand, plastic, wood, etc.

Slide 8: Polar and Nonpolar Substances

Bonds will not cancel out with a polar molecule. In other words, with a polar bond, the
electronegativity of the atoms are different. This means that there will be an unequal sharing of
electron pairs, which will cause a molecular dipole. For nonpolar bonds, the electronegativity of
the atoms will all be equal.

Slide 9: Process of Diffusion and Chromatography

Diffusion is a process when substances move down a concentration gradient. This means
that substances move from an area of high concentration, to an area with low concentration.
Diffusion occurs in living systems. For example, it explains the movement of carbon dioxide in
plants, or specifically in leaves. Chromatography is the physical method of separation that
distributes components that allow it to separate between two phases: stationary and mobile.
Stationary is when is it is not moving, and mobile is when it is moving.
