Rainbow paper
Materials;

2. Felt pens
3. cup
4. water
5. pencil
Process:
Step 1: Tack the Chromatography paper and use felt pen draw two dots.
Step 2: Tack the Chromatography paper and use felt pen draw two dots.
Step 3:And put some water in, the water and wait for 10 minutes.
Step 5: After 10 minutes
Conclusion: What have I learnt from this experiment?
I learned the paper can
Water absorption. And the colour is like magic.
