Chromaflies - Chromatography Butterflies Bulletin Board
I'm educational activity chemical scientific discipline this twelvemonth nether some not-so-normal circumstances.
1. I'm non a trained chemical scientific discipline teacher. I'm non fifty-fifty a trained scientific discipline teacher. I'm a math instructor who enjoyed chemical scientific discipline inward high schoolhouse too was able to retrieve plenty from AP Chemistry to exceed the chemical scientific discipline certification test.
2. I never prepare out to instruct science. Budget cuts conduct maintain resulted inward my schoolhouse losing a scientific discipline teacher. It turns out that a schoolhouse our size (180 students 9th-12th grade) cannot business office amongst exclusively 1 scientific discipline teacher. Math is closed plenty to science, then I got the job.
3. I'm educational activity chemical scientific discipline to students who don't conduct maintain a potent background inward lab sciences. Most of my students conduct maintain never been required to write a lab study before.
4. I'm educational activity chemical scientific discipline inward a non-lab classroom amongst carpet. We can't actually create labs requiring flames, unsafe chemicals, drinking glass lab ware, fume hoods, or a 1000000 other things. This actually limits the labs that nosotros tin do.
5. It's been several years since my schoolhouse has offered chemistry.
6. We conduct maintain null budget for scientific discipline lab supplies. So, the exclusively supplies I conduct maintain are ones I've constitute lying around the schoolhouse from years past times or ones I've purchased from my ain pocket.
I all the same desire to croak along my chemical scientific discipline course of study equally hands-on equally possible. This has meant that I conduct maintain to larn creative to discovery lab activities that my students tin all the same create nether these circumstances.
At the goal of our get-go unit, nosotros did a mixture separation lab which I conduct maintain yet to spider web log about. I saw scream of a chromatography lab inward some other textbook, too I straight off prepare almost to figure out how I could contain this inward my classroom. I don't conduct maintain access to chromatography paper, but I create conduct maintain a giant bundle of java filters I constitute inward the scientific discipline lab of our old, abandoned high school.
So, I decided that nosotros would accept the road of java filter chromatography instead of the to a greater extent than formal chromatography experiments I could discovery written upwards inward books too online.
Before I larn whatever further, I conduct maintain to portion our finally product.
Want to brand all of your algebra students abhor you? Tell them that they aren't allowed to brand their ain chromatography butterfly because they are inward algebra, non chemistry.
For supplies, you'll demand java filters, markers, water, too a container to concur your experiment. We used both plastic beakers too plastic cups.
My students constitute that the experiment worked faster inward a loving cup than a beaker. One grouping of students did their get-go java filter inward a beaker too their 2d inward a cup. The 1 inward the loving cup finished get-go despite beingness started last!
For the markers, I conduct maintain constitute that Expo Vis a Vis markers (affiliate link) too Mr. Sketch markers (affiliate link) operate the best. Highlighters, Sharpies, too Dry Erase Markers create non work.
To begin, flatten your java filter. Make a blueprint around where the circle is at the bottom of the java filter. You don't desire your blueprint to extend whatever closer to the centre of the circular java filter than this circle.
Here are some of our designs:
Here's my example. I used bluish too dark vis a vis markers.
Once your blueprint is finished, crease your java filter inward one-half too one-half in 1 trial to a greater extent than similar you lot are preparing to brand a snowflake.
Unfold it a bit, but brand certain you lot croak along the betoken at the bottom of the java filter.
Place but a pocket-size chip of H2O (solvent) inward the bottom of your loving cup or beaker. Place your java filter inward then that ONLY the tip is touching the water. It is of import that none of the ink touches the water.
If the ink does impact the water, the ink volition spread to the H2O instead of the java filter.
Here are a few that were messed upwards due to the ink touching the water.
Once the java filter is inward the water, the waiting game begins. At this point, I conduct maintain my students read an article too respond some questions almost chromatography. Even though we're non doing a technical chromatography lab, I all the same desire my students to empathise what chromatography is too how it is used inward laboratories.
As students read almost chromatography inward the article, they larn to run across it inward action.
Here's mine (the 1 amongst the dots too stars) after a few minutes:
Many inks are non made upwards of but a unmarried color of ink. Some of the ink colors are to a greater extent than attracted to the H2O traveling through the java filter. These ink colors volition movement up. Other ink colors are to a greater extent than attracted to the java filter than the water. These volition exhibit upwards lower on the java filter.
Enjoy these pictures of our chromatography experiments inward progress.
Watch closely until the H2O reaches the edges of the java filter. Now, it's fourth dimension to line out the designs too house them on newspaper to dry.
There were moisture java filters on almost every apartment surface of my classroom!
After drying overnight, nosotros turned them into java filter butterflies the side past times side day.
To create this, crimp the middle of your java filter acre fluffing the exterior to brand wings. You exclusively demand one-half a piping cleaner to brand antenna, then cutting 1 inward one-half for this purpose.

Remember my blueprint amongst the circles too stars? It's the bottom blueprint inward the flick below.
Here's some pictures of my chemical scientific discipline students' finished designs. It was awesome to take away heed them notice how the colors of their finally blueprint differed from the master copy colors of markers they had used. One daughter exclaimed, "Where did the pinkish come upwards from? I used orange!"

To create this, crimp the middle of your java filter acre fluffing the exterior to brand wings. You exclusively demand one-half a piping cleaner to brand antenna, then cutting 1 inward one-half for this purpose.
Wrap the piping cleaner around the butterfly's centre too twist.
My students actually enjoyed this activity! Several mentioned that they were going to create it in 1 trial to a greater extent than at dwelling household amongst younger siblings/cousins. How cute is that?!?
And, weeks later, my algebra students are all the same bespeak if they are e'er going to larn to create the java filter activity!
