Question about Find the Hidden Colors of Leaves activity

Post by seayteach67 »

Type your question below and then press Submit!
I love the lab. However, my class periods are only 60 minutes. My question is. Can this activity be split into three days? If so, when would you stop for the day and start the next day?
Thanks for the help

Hello,

This looks like a fun project! Unfortunately I don't think it's the best candidate to split it across three days. The solvent rising up the paper towel strip (step 17) could easily take more than 60 minutes alone. This project uses readily available materials so perhaps you could complete it at home with the help of an adult and analyze your results during lab time? Or there are many other great projects to select from here on the site.

Good luck,

Audrey
