Ms. Hulsey's science classes experimented with chemical reactions. They designed experiments and completed tye dying. The students discovered that the chemical reaction takes place between the dye molecules and the fabric molecules. The dye bonds with cotton (cellulose) and becomes a part of the fabric.
