Chromatography/ With coloured pens

Today in home chemistry we are learning about Chromatography. The Chromatography we are learning about is putting felt pens on a piece of paper then putting the end of the paper in water and putting skittles in water and waiting for the result. 

Materials;

1. A piece of chromatography paper

2. A pencil and ruler 

3. A cup of water

4. Felt water based pens, we did red, black and green

5.  A Chromebook or I pad to get photos

6. A Chromebook or i pad to do a blog post about it

Process:

Step 1: We got the chromatography paper and we write lines on each end, one end was 1 cm and the other end was 2 cm

Step 2: We put 3 dots with 3 colours on the line

Step 3: After that we put the paper in the water and let it sit

Step 4: We got our Chromebooks out to take some photos

Step 5: We got some photos on our camera

Step 6: We had to start doing a blog post about what we did

Findings: Write about what happened. At the start it was just wet paper but after a while a few different colours came out of just the 3 colours. I can't remember exactly what the colours were but I knew there was about 6 or 7 on the 1 piece of paper. After that we let it sit and moved on to a different experiment

Reflection: What have I learnt from this experiment?
