Sun Printing Experiment

Ideal for ages 4 to 13
Reception to Year 8 (P1 - S2)

Place a flatish object - it could be a feather, some leaves, or a slice of lemon - on the paper, put it in the sunlight for a couple of minutes - and then 'develop' it in ordinary tap water for a minute - and you end up with an amazing permanent print.

For younger pupils it is great for exploring the differences between opaque, translucent and transparent materials.

Older pupils can understand the process as a chemical change, and can investigate the effects of using alternative chemicals - by developing the prints in solutions of vinegar - or even cold tea!

Topics covered in this experiment include:

Opaque, translucent and transparent materials;

Chemical change / irreversible change.
