Intro to Chromatography

Join an instructor from the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska to learn about chromatography! This is a hands-on enrichment session where students will learn how capillary action occurs in micro gravity and how black ink divides into different colors through chromatography. Students will compare and contrast capillary action as seen on the International Space Station and a classroom on Earth, as well as see how chromatography is involved in the coloration of plant life.

NOTE that students are required to behave respectfully to our guest instructors, and will be asked to leave if they cannot behave appropriately. Students will be making observations and/or measurements, and following precisely a multi-step procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements and performing technical tasks. Please talk to your child about these expectations and make sure this class is a good fit before registering them. Parents are welcome to attend.

This is a free enrichment event sponsored by Four Valleys Community School because we love hands-on learning and watching our youth grow into life-long learners. We couldn't do it without donations from Pick.Click.Give, support from Girdwood Board of Supervisors, funds from donors like the Girdwood Forest Fair Committee and individual donors. Thank you for your support.
