We'd try out the roughest fabrics and work our way to the softest fabric. Then we would test on a scale of 10 degrees fahrenheit. One member would find out the amount of dye needed, another would find out what makes the fabric change color, and I would find out exactly what temperature it changed color. If parents wanted to give their kid something cool, a color changing shirt would be a great gift.
