Chromatography

Dr. Vollmer introduced the students to chromatography.  This is a method of separating molecules on a solid media with a liquid solvent.  The students made t-shirts and rate of flow percentages.  I got involved by ironing the pattern created by the students with a piece of aluminum foil.  The aluminum allowed the dies to be fixed.  Everyone had a great time.
