Exploring Plant Pigments through Paper Chromatography
In this lesson, students will explore the different pigments in green plants using spinach leaves. Students will identify the pigments by doing a lab using paper chromatography. They will observe the different pigments separate out. Students will be able to calculate the Retention factor (Rf) of each pigment front and compare with approximate Rf values of some common plants.

In this lesson series, students engage with the process of photosynthesis to examine factors that can influence the gases produced. In this lesson, students integrate previous lessons observations
Explore how cells can only be so big by studying how things move in and out of them, and discover why the size of a cell is connected to its surface area and volume.
In this lesson, students will extract chlorophyll from spinach leaves and make different concentrations following the dilution method. Students will learn to compare the absorbance values obtained at
