Separating Mixtures Worksheet #2
For this separating mixtures worksheet, students answer 6 questions about they ways to separate mixtures including using chromatography, using skimming, and pouring off a liquid. Students are given different fractions and their...
Curated OER
Chromatography
Students 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 investigate the separation of mixtures using plant pigments. Using everyday items, they demonstrate the separation of pigments in plants through the process of chromatography.
Curated OER
Column Chromatography
Students research the mechanics of liquid chromatography. In this technology instructional activity, students calculate the concentration of unknown samples. They write a report about their research and lab results.
Curated OER
Ink Analysis
High school chemistry class members become "detectives for a day" and use the concept of paper chromatography to analyze a note left at the scene of a crime. Pupils test the ink on the note with a solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol, to...
Curated OER
The Conceptual Theory of Chromatography
High schoolers conduct a lab to determine the best way to separate a variety of mixtures choosing between paper, thin layer and column chromatography. They use chromatography techniques to identify unknown substances and submit a lab...
Curated OER
Chromatography
Learners research types of chromatography and complete chromatography experiments.
Curated OER
Using Chromatography to Identify Unknowns
Students are introduced to the concept of chromatography. They practice using new vocabular and observing experiments. They answer discussion questions to end the lesson.
Curated OER
Paper Chromatography
Students use this design the illustrate how ink can be separated into its component chemicals using paper chromatography. They use five unknown samples of ink on pre-labeled chromatography strips are provided to students. Students use...
Curated OER
T-shirt Chromatography
Students explore chromatography, a process used to separate mixtures. They create a colorful T-shirt design.
Curated OER
Paper Chromatography
Small groups of high schoolers perform paper chromatography to separate food dyes into their component colors. Students perform the experiment and collect, organize, and represent their data to form an explanation of their outcomes. High...
