This straightforward, absorbing exercise is a hands-on technique to study concerning the totally different flags of the world and may be became a vibrant science investigation. The thought is that washable felt tip pens are used to attract a flag on one half of a kitchen towel ( kitchen roll ) sheet. The kitchen towel is then folded in half so the colors can’t be seen till the kitchen towel is positioned in water. When the towel will get moist, the ink dissolves into the water and is absorbed by the kitchen towel’s high layer, revealing the flag’s colors!
