Extracting Colors from natural creatons

Science isn’t just test tubes and safety

goggles—it is the smell of crushed mint, the stain of a berry, and the oil

inside an orange peel! We are going to build a Kitchen Apothecary using

tools you already have. Get a piece of wax paper, parchment, or aluminum

foil. Grab a rolling pin, a smooth stone, or the heavy end of a wooden

spoon and a bowl.

Go outside or raid the fridge for dry herbs, fresh grass, berries, and

fruit skins (like red apple peels or orange rinds). We are going to extract

natural colors and mix our own botanical blends, letting the science grow

as they grow!
