Fabric Name- Planetary Missions Graphics and Formulas designed by Studio E Fabrics.
Material- 100% Cotton Fabric
Background Color- Black
Theme- Science, Outer Space
Description:
Engineers Week runs from February 20-26, 2022, and today we are sharing this Planetary Missions design from Studio E Fabrics. This design features aerodynamic forces and calculations related to flying, concentrating on escaping Earth’s gravity and flying in outer space.
The red letter section describes Vertical Ascent and the white letter section describes Vertical Descent. Both of these sections contain calculations to explain ballistic flight, the motion of a flying ball with drag.
The equations surrounding the right triangle describe the Lift to Drag Ratio, the balance of forces on a descending Wright Glider.
The yellow letter section shows the equation for the Law of Gravity, along with the constants for the mass of the Earth, the radius of the Earth, and the universal gravitation constant.
The orange letters under the rocket show the velocity effects on aerodynamic forces. Double the velocity, quadruple the lift and quadruple the drag.
The Solar System graphic shows the shape of the orbits of the planets around the Sun, along with the orbits of some comets and asteroids.
The Earth, Venus, Sun diagram doesn’t have any calculations associated with it. This diagram is often shown when explaining how the Astronomical Unit was first determined. One Astronomical Unit (AU) is the distance from the Earth to the Sun, and it was first calculated using geometry and the transit of Venus.
There is a lot of great science on this pattern. I hope you learned something new today. If you would like more information, visit NASA’s Glenn Research Center to see more detailed explanations of these formulas.
Happy Engineers Week! Science is fun!

Fabric Name- Little Genius Chemistry White by Deborah Edwards for Northcott Fabrics
Material- 100% Cotton Fabric
Background Color- White
Theme- Science
Description:
The Little Genius Chemistry design by Deborah Edwards for Northcott Fabrics is full of fun science facts. There are colorful science icons on a white background including magnets, test tubes, microscopes, flasks, light bulbs, DNA, atoms, molecules, chemical elements (Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen), a solid/liquid/gas diagram, and magnifying glasses. Between each of the images there are scientific words and facts to teach young scientists:
DNA holds the code for every cell in your body.
Electricity is a form of energy and it occurs in nature. It can be made from wind, water and sunlight.
Hydrogen is the lightest , simplest and most commonly found chemical element in the Universe.
Carbon is found in the Earth’s atmosphere in the form of Carbon Dioxide, CO2.
Because Helium is lighter than air, it is often used to fill balloons and make them float.
Oxygen is essential to human life. It is in the air we breathe and the water we drink.
Nitrogen is present in all living things including the human body and plants.
Light travels very, very fast. The speed of light is around 186,000 miles per second.
Atoms are the basic building blocks of ordinary matter. Atoms are made of particles called protons, electrons and neutrons.
All living organisms on earth are divided into cells. Cells can only be seen under a microscope.
Magnets produce magnetic fields that attract or repel objects.
H2O is the chemical symbol for water.
Albert Einstein was a very famous scientist born in 1879. He came up with the famous equation E=mc2.
Experiments are fun!
The larger scientific words scattered throughout the pattern are: Atom, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Energy, Electrons, Magnetism, Science, Theory, Gravity, Einstein, Look Closer, DNA, Test Tubes, Light, Force, Motion, Microscope, Solid, Liquid, and Gas.
This fabric pattern is very educational. I think the colorful pictures and quick facts will keep kids coming back to discover new ideas. Science is fun!

Fabric Name- Bug City Beetles designed by Jodie Carleton for Ella Blue Fabrics
Material- 100% Cotton Fabric
Background Color- White
Theme- Science, Entomology
Description:
Insect lovers will enjoy this Bug City Beetles design from Ella Blue Fabrics. There are many educational facts about insects along with colorful green and orange drawings of beetles, spiders, flies, and ticks. Below are the facts listed on the design, along with explanations that I have added.
Spiders- an eight-legged arachnid with an unsegmented body consisting of a fused head and thorax.
Insect- a small arthropod animal that has six legs and generally one or two pairs of wings.
Entomology- the branch of zoology concerned with the study of insects.
Arthropod- the phylum for insects and spiders.
Insecta- any of a class of arthropods.
Family Coccinellidae- ladybugs
Beetle- genera Scarabaeus, Canthon, Copris, or Phanaeus.
Dipteran flies- true flies
Culicidae- mosquitoes
Taxonomic rank is: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Beetles are: Domain Eukaryota, Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Arthropoda, Class Insecta, Order Coleoptera, many families including Coccinellidae, and some genera (the plural form of genus) are Scarabaeus, Canthon, Copris and Phanaeus.
I hope you learned something new today! Science is fun!
Fabric Name- Science and Space Rainbow Coding Black designed by Timeless Treasures.
Material- 100% cotton fabric
Background color- Black
Theme- Technology, Coding
Description:
The Rainbow Coding design from the Science and Space collection by Timeless Treasures is a fun technology pattern. While the code itself is nonsense, it does contain many words one would see while using a computer. Sign In, Log Out, Download, Search Engine, Function, Data, Result, Element, Code and Document Needed are just a few of the computer related words scattered throughout the pattern in rainbow letters. The font looks like the old DOS font, too. Technology is fun!
Fabric Name- Monster Lab DNA Navy designed by Dana Saulnier for Studio E Fabrics.
Material- 100% cotton fabric
Background color- Blue
Theme- Science
Description:
The DNA pattern of the Monster Lab Collection from Studio E is a lesson in cell biology. The big blobs in the design are actually cells, the basic building blocks of all living things. The large blob inside the cells is the nucleus. The cell nucleus is where you find your DNA. If you look carefully at the background of the fabric, you might notice some X’s. I think they are supposed to represent chromosomes. Chromosomes are very long strands of DNA. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes containing all of our genes. You inherit one of each pair of chromosomes from your mother, and the other from your father. This is an oversimplified explanation of genetics. If you would like to know more, do some research on mitosis and meiosis.
Getting back to the fabric description: There are strands of DNA both inside and outside of test tubes and atoms scattered in between. Throughout the pattern there are words in light blue: DNA, Molecule, Scientist, Atom, Genes, and Nucleus.
I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I do. Science is fun!
