Making Science Colorful
Witty International School organised a
paper chromatography session for the students of Grade VII. Paper
Chromatography is a complex looking but simple process of separating and analyzing
the solvents in dyes.
The students had great
fun all the while learning about pigments and solubility. Chromatography is
defined by many as the advent of art in chemistry. “ I generally don’t like
chemistry but the art hidden in this mundane science, helped me forget my
hatred , even if it was for a short time.’’, agrees Yashvi Agrawal, a student
of Grade VII.
The purpose of this activity was to
observe how chromatography can be used to separate mixtures of chemical substances
. Students enjoyed the combination of science and art.
All the students agree whole – heartedly that this was one of the best
experiences ever. ‘’ Chemistry has never been this fun’’, was all that the
students had to say about chromatography. This is the first time that a
scientific approch has received such laurels. For which I can only say , Kudos
to the science teachers !
