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!

Studio E Monster Lab DNA Navy

Studio e Monster Lab DNA Navy

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!

Fabric Name- Monster Lab Patch Oyster designed by Dana Saulnier for Studio E Fabrics.

Material- 100% cotton fabric

Background color- Oyster White

Theme- Science

Description:

The Monster Lab collection from Studio E features adorable monsters in lab coats. In this Patch design, there are rectangle patches with the words Theory, Experiment and Molecule. Other patches contain laboratory items like microscopes, flasks, beakers, test tubes, and even a bubbling flask on a ring stand over a Bunsen burner. The focus of this design, however, is the 5 monsters! Monster number one is green and orange. His mouth is a big part of his body, and his eyes stick out above his head. He is holding a flask. Monster number two is showing us that safety comes first. He is wearing his safety goggles to protect his eyes. He is blue with green arms and legs. Monster number three has an orange body with a long tail and green horns on his head. He is taking good notes during his experiments in the lab. He is holding a clip board and a pencil. Monsters four and five are wearing lab coats. Monster number 4 is green with orange arms and legs, while monster number 5 is all green with two white horns on his nose.

Science is fun!

The 24-inch panel from Studio E’s Geek Chic collection contains 15 different squares on a navy blue background. There are three chemical elements: Zinc (Zn), Magnesium (Mg), and Aluminum (Al). One square has a bubbling red round bottom flask with a hexagonal chemical structure on the side. The word Science is the focus of another square containing electrons floating around a nucleus. There is a microscope with the chemical structure for Guanine, one of the 4 nucleotides that make up DNA. The square that says Chemistry also contains an atomic ring and an Erlenmeyer flask with a blue bubbling liquid. H2CO is formaldehyde. It is pictured with a graduated cylinder with yellow liquid, and two test tubes, one yellow and one orange. The square that says Molecule has a magnifying glass and the chemical structure for caffeine. There is a light bulb with a gear in the center and more atomic rings around it. Another square shows an Erlenmeyer flask with blue liquid on a yellow background. A test tube with light blue liquid is being poured into the flask. There are also two ball and stick models over the flask. There is a ball and stick model of a molecule on a square with a red background. A ring stand is holding a round bottom flask with a green liquid over a flame in another square. H2SO4 is sulfuric acid. It is featured on a square with a beaker with orange liquid transferring liquid to another container using a red coiled tube. The final square features a globe on a sky blue background. The panel is framed on either side with 10 chemical elements in smaller squares: Chlorine (Cl), Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Zinc (Zn), Ruthenium (Ru), Barium (Ba), Aluminum (Al), Magnesium (Mg), Strontium (Sr), and Sulfur (S).
