High schoolers explain the basic concepts of polymerization. Students participate in a lab to create a crude preparation of carboxyl esterase and test its effectiveness in reducing the residual monomer in an emulsion such as paint.

Students experiment with Thin Layer Chromatography to separate pigments found in flower petals.
