MM 1.5 - Separating a Food-Coloring Mixture
Objective: KWBAT use a physical model to observe how molecules separate in chromatography and use those observations to identify similarities and differences in molecules.

In our chromatography experiment, what was the test mixture, the medium, and the solvent?

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Food coloring		Test Mixture - being separated
Chromatography paper		Medium - test mixture moves through
Water		Solvent - helps test mixture move
