In a wonderful twist of whodunnit, our Year 6 had to solve who might have ‘kidnapped’ Craig from his Head’s conference at the imaginary Inkwell Manor. A pen was dropped at the scene but could Year 6 work out, from their Chromatography lesson, who was responsible?
In their lesson, Year 6 used water as a solvent to separate the different colours present in the ink and record the different distances each travelled up some blotting paper. Each ink had a distinctive pattern, enabling Year 6 to discover the culprit and release Craig from captivity!
