Ice-Dying is a twist on the classic tie-dye of the mid-1960s. In this lab, students will be combining the tie-dyeing techniques with the properties of slow melting ice. As the ice melts, the melted water carries the dye into the fabric, distributing the colors.  This is ideally a 3-period lab (52-minute classes). Day 1 consists of instructions, a teacher demo, and planning. Day 2 is when the students get to tie, dye, and prep their designs. Day 3 students get to rinse out their fabric and wash it.
