To get started with our leaf chromatography experiment, we first must learn about leaves. Leaves contain different pigments, which give them their color. Green chlorophyll is the most common type of pigment, but there are also carotenoids (yellow, orange) and anthocyanins (red). Chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis, usually hides the other pigments, except when […]

Take your next fireworks or light show to the next level with DIY fireworks (or rainbow) glasses made from diffraction grating.

Introduction Salt is an naturally-occurring mineral and a chemical compound with amazing properties. These properties enable salt to be used in everything from preserving food to making it taste better. Epsom salt is primarily used for health reasons. People use it to make soft water for relaxing, treat constipation, and sore muscles. You can use […]
Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants (primarily) convert energy from the sun’s light into usable, chemical energy. Plants require energy for growth, reproduction, and defense. Excess energy, created from photosynthesis, is stored in plant tissue as starch. Starch is a white and powdery substance. It houses glucose, which plants use for food. The […]
