Curated OER
Paper Chromatography K-12 Experiment
Students study chromatography and how they can distinguish between the different pigments in a color. In this chromatography instructional activity students separate a mixture of dyes in soluble ink then record the colors they see.Â
Curated OER
Synthesizing Pigment and Dyeing Cloth
Students create a synthetic dye and oxidize the dye and record the effects.
Curated OER
Natural Dye Lesson Plan
Students investigate major pigments which occur naturally in fruits and vegetables, and to use them to dye a number of items. They study the effects of pH on anthocyanin on pigments.

Mixtures and Solutions: Paper Chromatography Experiment
Why does some ink bleed through paper, and other ink doesn't? Practice some paper chromatography to separate the colors from a pen with an interactive experiment for middle and high schoolers. Learners use a variety of solutions to track...
Curated OER
Paper Chromatography
Students participate in an experiment determining how to separate a mixture of dyes in water-soluble ink.
Curated OER
Separation of Unknowns in a Liquid
Students identify chromatography as method of separating the components of a liquid. Students discover that dyes are composed of more than one component in achieving a particular color in these lessons on paper chromatography.

How Much Energy Does the Earth Receive from the Sun?
Students explore energy. In this science lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they measure how much energy is produced by the sun. Students build a calorimeter to measure the amount of energy.
Curated OER
Chromatography
Learners conduct various experiments on chromatography. In this chemistry lesson, students distinguish among the different types of chromatography methods. They explain how the stationary and mobile phase interact with each other.
Curated OER
Chromatography
Students research types of chromatography and complete chromatography experiments.
Curated OER
Separation of Unknowns in a Liquid
Learners identify the different components of a given sample using chromatography. In this chemistry lesson plan, students compare paper and column chromatography. They collect data and construct data tables.
