Bring science and creativity together with this fun, hands-on Christmas chromatography activity designed for KS2/KS3 (Year 5–9). Pupils explore how colours are made by separating the hidden dyes inside felt-tip pens, then turn their results into festive decorations. This resource includes a simple step-by-step investigation guide. Chromatography paper is recommended, but everyday alternatives are also suggested to make the activity easy to run in any classroom or at home. Resources Needed: • Chromatography paper - available on amazon for around £6 (or white coffee filters as an alternative) • Beaker / jam jar / any clear plastic container • Water • Pencil • Ruler • Paper clip or tape • Felt-tip pens for testing Pupils learn that felt-tip inks are mixtures of colours and use chromatography to split them apart. Once their chromatograms have dried, they cut out their designs and glue them onto Christmas baubles to create a take-home decoration. This blends science enquiry, observation, and seasonal craft in an accessible, engaging way. Perfect for introducing mixtures and following a scientific method while keeping learning festive and fun.

Science Fair: Bacteria Experiment for Science Fair or In Class: Turn your students into real scientists with this long term experiment which teaches scientific literacy through the writing of a real scientific paper. This product is an editable guided walk-through for the completion of a full scientific paper (Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Works Cited) based on the question: "Which antibacterial chemical: ethyl alcohol (hand sanitizer), isopropyl (rubbing alcohol), or Triclosan (Antibacterial soap) is the most effective at inhibiting bacterial growth? This product contains: 1. A teachers guide: Descriptions on how to set-up the experiment, materials needed, procedures, and helpful tips. 2. A lesson on Analyzing a Scientific paper utilizing a graphic organizer (Scientific Paper Included) 3. Student pages: a guided walk-through taking the students through the process of writing a full scientific paper. This long term project (which takes about 2-3 months to complete, spread out intermittently) guides students through the process of writing a scientific paper in the same way scientists write their scholarly papers. Students are taught how to write an Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and works cited section.
