How the activity can be used interdisciplinary with STEM instruction:
This activity includes science and art.. The materials needed are construction paper, coins, and a baking sheet. First, place the paper on the baking sheet. Second, place the coins on the construction paper. Third, place in the sun for several hours. Fourth, bring the paper inside and remove the coins. The UV rays from the sun which break down the chemical bonds in the pigment and dye molecules, making them less effective in absorbing and reflecting light. Therefore, the colors appear faded. This activity could be paired with a lesson about the sun.
