Thanksgiving Chromatography Art Project

Description

In this engaging project, students explore the concept of chromatography to discover how different colors can be separated using water. The activity begins with an introduction to chromatography, illustrating how inks used in markers can consist of multiple colors. Students make predictions about the results before conducting the experiment using coffee filters and fall-colored markers. After observing the color separation, they cut the dried filters into various shapes to create Thanksgiving-themed art. The project concludes with a reflection section for students to record their observations and learnings about color mixing.
