Unit Study: Plant Sun Prints

As part of our unit on plants, we made sun prints. First learners chose various plants that they wanted to work with. Then we placed them on the special paper, letting the sunlight "develop" the paper. The kids were super excited by the process and their results.

Step 1: Place plants on Sun Print paper and lay in sun.

Step 2: Let sunlight turn paper blue to white.

Step 3: Rinse paper in water.

Final process: All white paper turns blue, anything that was under shadow turns white.
