What’s New Activity No. 2: Experiment: The True Colors of Leaves! Objective: Identify the biological techniques, procedures and methods. Directions: Prepare the materials needed materials for the simple experiment below. Perform them and answer the given guide questions. What is the color of the leaves? Perhaps, your answer would be green, because But, is it the only pigment that leaves have? Do this activity to see if there are hidden colors in green leaves! Note: Adult supervision is recommended. Materials: • green leaves • tissue • glass/ plastic cup/wide-mouthed jar • pencil • mortar and pestle (almires or dikdikan) • dish or small basin • isopropyl rubbing alcohol • hot water • used cardboard or folder Procedure: 1. Tear the leaves into several pieces. If you have mortar and pestle you can use it to pound and extract the green juice from the leaves then put it in a glass. Add just enough rubbing alcohol to cover them. Put a cardboard on top of the glass to keep the alcohol from evaporating. 2. Put the glass in a dish with hot tap water ask for adult assistance in doing this step) for about 30 minutes, until the alcohol turns green. 3. Cut a strip of tissue paper about a half inch wide and tape it to a pencil. Suspend the pencil across the glass and let the strip just barely touch the alcohol and pigment mixture. Leave for about 30-60 minutes. Caution: the solvent (alcohol) is highly flammable and gives off potentially harmful fumes. Do not directly smell the solution.
