Blog Task: Separation of Colorful Felt-Tip Pen Colors

Felix gets an idea

Now you can surely answer this question:

Look at your chromatogram – into which components have the felt-tip pen colors separated? 

Why does your “chromatogram” (the filter paper with the color strips) look like this, why have individual colors migrated further than others?

Have your felt-tip pen colors separated like those in our video, or did you get a different chromatogram?

Feel free to write in the comments. Please observe the game rules!
