MMs and Chromatography

We put 6 different mms on a plate – not touching. Then we added a drop of water on each one – to get colour off each mm. (A tricky process)

While that was happening we prepared our filter paper by sticking it to a stick and putting a starting line on it 2cm up.

Next we used a toothpick to put an extract of colour from mms onto starting line and used the Air to dry colours on paper

We put a bit of water in the bottom of a glass and then place our paper into water

We watched the paper absorb the water and take the colour up the paper
