**Student Comment:**

Chromatography __Tuesday 10th May__

L.I- I and learning the process of the chromatography and use this to assist with solving the crime

Aim-To use chromatography to distinguish which pen was used in the ransom note.

Hypothesis I thought that it was the bic pen because it looked like the same colour.

Equipment-Beaker, felt pens, ransom note, filter paper, water, hand lens, marking tape and straw.

Results-After we had finished doing our experiment we found out it was the bic pen, and I got my hypothesis right.

Conclusion-The bic pen wrote the letter because they were the same colour and the normal pen and the sharpie were to thin to have been the same note. __Monday 2nd May__ 

Explanation: First we cut out 3 pieces of white card and normal cardboard in to circles by tracing the bottom of the drink bottle, then we divided them into differed fractions.After that we coloured the fractions in with different coloured pencils,next we got them and we got the cardboard circles and we glued the white card we coloured in on to the cardboard.Then we got our compass and we Poked a hole the size of our pencil in the center of the circle.We poked the pencil in the hole and we span it with our hands and we looked at what happened and this is what happened, you can still see all the colours the same they just move well you spin it. Reflection: Today I found it a little bit boring but i liked working with my buddy.  Because I found it a little bit boring.

__ Thursday 5th May __ Reflection: I liked this experiment I found interesting and I like working with a buddy or a group. 

I liked it and I found it fun.
