China - Science

Published: 17 Mar '26

As part of Science week, China class carried out a chromatography experiment to find out who stole our keyboard and mouse.

We tested the ink from Mrs Adams’ grey pen and Mrs Sheppard’s red pen and compared them with the ink from the note left behind. The inks separated into different colours on the filter paper. By comparing the patterns, we could see which pen matched the ink from the note and identify the culprit! It was Mrs Sheppard – again!
