Science

This week we did an experiment to look at Chromotography - the process of separating substances. First we built a chromo tower, then we drew a spot on our filter paper with felt pen. We hung our filter paper from the tower and placed the tip of our paper in water. The water travelled up the paper like plants drink water from the soil. The colour separated into lots of colours.
