The Food Lab: Food Dyes
Explore how temperature affects the intensity of natural dyes through hands-on STEM learning.
With the Food Dyes Experiment, learners use familiar foods like beets and blueberries to create their own dyes. By observing how heat influences colour extraction and strength, they build observation, comparison, and scientific thinking skills.
Adaptable across grade levels
You can adapt the discussion and reflection to suit a wide range of learners—explore simple observations and comparisons with younger students or introduce concepts like thermal energy, diffusion, and concentration with older students.
