Paper Chromatography Investigation is an interactive HTML5 simulation designed for Lower Secondary Science students to explore the separation technique of chromatography. Students can experiment with different dyes, adjust solvent levels, and observe how colored pigments separate on filter paper based on their chemical properties. This hands-on digital lab helps learners understand the principles of mixture separation and analytical chemistry in a safe, controlled virtual environment.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand the principle of chromatography as a separation technique
• Observe how different pigments travel at different rates on filter paper
• Identify factors that affect chromatography results (solvent type, paper type, pigment properties)
• Apply chromatography concepts to real-world applications like food coloring analysis
• Develop skills in scientific observation and data recording
Perfect for inquiry-based learning and virtual lab activities!
