Chromatography With Skittles And Felt Pen

Last Tuesday we did an experiment around chromatography and the experiment that we did was using colors and put it in liquids and then see what happens to the colors.

Felt Pens 

Aim=Our aim was to see on the filter paper what the liquid would do to the colors and what colors made the color that we were using.


Materials & ingredients= Type of liquid, Filter Paper,Felt pens,Beaker


Method = First off we took a colored felt pen then put a dot on the bottom of the filtered paper that we had cut out into rectangles.   We then poured our liquid into a beaker and dipped the filter paper with the dot on in.    When you put the filter paper in the liquid you want to make sure that the colored dot didn't touch the water  because then it wouldn't work.    After we put the filer paper in the water we held  it there for a couple of minuets and then we watched what happened.


Result= in the end the liquid rose through the filter paper and stretched the color out revealing different colors and it looked really cool.


















Skittles


Aim= Our aim was to see what happened to the skittles when we let them soak in the water.


Materials & Ingredients= Circular Tray (with lid ),Water,Skittles


Method= First we placed the skittles in the tray evenly spaced then carefully poured the water in. then put on the lid and watch what happens.


Result= In the end the tray looked like a color wheel because the color soaked into the water but stayed in their own section so the colors didn't mix. since all the colors disintegrated into the water it left the skittles white and colorless.


You can see the skittles starting to lose color round the edges

  1. Hey Lucy this is a really good blog post I really like all the information you put into your blog post. I also like how you added exactly what happened in science. You could've put method 1 and method 2 than doing the felt pens and the skittles separate.

  2. Hi Lucy, Great blog post you have made here. I like how you have told us what you used and how you did it. Maybe next time you should add more photos and write more.

    Bye, Paige
