What Teachers are saying about this resource!
"The students had a blast doing this activity. They couldn't wait to get back to the room to check on what colors showed up on the coffee filter. This was a neat, quick activity that lasted longer with the student engagement." - Jennifer K.
"Thank you for such a great resource. My first graders loved seeing what happened when the green from chlorophyll transferred to the water. It certainly enhanced their understanding of how leaves change colors!" - Charlene E.
"This was lots of fun. The kids enjoyed being the scientist!" - Jill S.
