Learning Intentions
What did you learn today?
We learned about Chromatography.
How did you show what you learned?
We did an experiment using spinach and rubbing alcohol. We dipped a coffee filter into the very green solution and watched the colors separate. Green showed the chlorophyll and the yellow showed the Xanthophyll.
What do you need to learn next?
We will observe the Bio Reactor in the library over the next week and then the scientists will be back next Wednesday.
