chromatography*

I did a chromatography experiment. I used filtered paper and a petri dish. Then i filled the dish up with water. Then I drew a design on the filtration paper. After I made two wholes on each side of the paper.Next, I rolled up a piece of paper and put it in the whole. Then I watched the water travel into the paper. It caused the ink to separate. Some the inks separated more than others. The colors with smaller molecules separated more because the smaller molecules were lighter to travel through.
