Chemistry and art.....

After a quiet start to the week we did do some quite fun stuff under the pretext of studying chemistry......

We were separating mixtures..... first with ink from biro's swished into rubbing alcohol and then allowed to seep up filter papers.....


then with felt tip pens, filter paper and a few drips of rubbing alcohol....



The colours take on a whole new look when they separate and the kids had lots of fun watching them change...... they were amazed at the colours contained in colours!

Isaac even put a few of his together and gave them a title - like a piece of artwork!! They are now hanging on the wall in our 'multi-purpose space'!
