Separation of Green Pigments from Spinach Leaves Using Chromatography
Optional: Botany class presentation
Research a plant that interests you. Bring the plant to class (or a sufficiently-large portion of the plant). While showing the plant to the class, give a 3-4 minute talk covering ALL of the following items. You can use a hand-held iPhone-microscope during your talk if that helps (it will be supplied). People are going to be fact-checking your facts while you speak, so make sure they're correct!
