Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hello,

My daughter is working on a 7th grade science fair project and is doing the "Ho to Make the Boldest, Brightest Tie-Dye" experiment. I am trying to understand how the project suggested the use of the "color picker" tool which is the WebFx Hex Color Picker. The teacher wanted to know how we decided to use that specific tool, I know it is suggested, however how did they decided on that specific tool and a different one.

Thank you,
Alana Norris-Bermudez

You could use any similar tool -- they will all work the same (in theory). This isn't something that I would expect needs to be explained deeply in writing up the project. The tool is noted in the bibliography this way:

"The following tool can be used to interpret your results from this science project by determining the hue, saturation, and brightness of each fabric sample"

You need a tool that allows you to do that -- get the hue, saturation, and brightness for each. As long as you use the same tool for all of them, then your data is consistent. You just need a tool that can give you that info.

Thank you so much!

Of course! We would love to hear how your student's project goes!
