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. This guided walk-through covers the following topics: Abstract: * Explanations of what goes in an introduction - What the study was about & the hypothesis - Summary of how the study was done - The results that were obtained - Significance of the results including the hypothesis being supported or not supported Introduction: * Explanations of what goes in an introduction - What bacteria colonies are and what they look like (color, size,shape texture, etc.) - What Fungal colonies are and what they look like - The Cellular processes by which ethyl alcohol, isopropyl, and triclosan work to kill bacteria Methods: * Teacher notes and tips for conducting the experiment Results: * Instructions for: - Calculating the average number of bacterial colonies - Graphing the data - Interpreting the data graph in words - Describing the appearance of bacterial and fungal colonies Discussion: * Instructions for: - Calculating the data to see if they are statistically significant - Interpreting the significance of the data - Calculating Percent effectiveness - Supporting or not supporting the hypothesis - Creating a theory to explain the results - Creating an additional experiment that could be done to test the theory - Discussing issues that occurred during in the experiment

An activity aimed at either 7-10 year olds (simply do the activity described on the first two pages and ask students to describe their observations) or 11-14 year old students(ask students to complete the worksheet of questions on diffusion), this resource provides a really engaging way of of showing students the phenomenon of diffusion in a quick, simple, creative and edible way! Students are tasked with creating a simple picture or image on a plate using vegetable oil and a drinking straw. Skittle sweets/candy are then added to each area of the image and water is added. The colours from the skittle sweets/candy will start to diffuse and spread across the plate, colouring the image in. The colours are prevented from running into each other by the lines of oil. The activity provides a great way of discussing key questions such as why the colours are spreading, why are some colours spreading faster than others, what effect different temperature water has on the rate of spread of the colour and why oil stops the colours from spreading any further. Most importantly though, the investigation is a FUN science activity tailored to Christmas! The resource includes: Instruction sheet with diagrams, question worksheet for 11-14 year olds and various templates designs for Christmas pictures Key words: diffusion, colour, art, christmas, santa, holly, reindeer, fun, skittles, spread, investigation
