Product Details

Watch as students learn important Big Idea 2 concepts covered on the AP® Chemistry exam—intermolecular forces, interpretation of a separation experiment and connect relationships between the structural features of molecules—with this Candy Chromatography advanced inquiry lab. After a thorough homework set, which introduces the knowledge needed for the wet lab, students are challenged with determining which candy-coated chocolates contain the FD&C food dye tartrazine. Students analyze the candies and a control by paper chromatography to arrive to a conclusion. Are some of the candies mixtures of FD&C dyes? How do the results compare to the tartrazine control? Watch students build a bridge between chemistry concepts and consumer science.

Performance Expectations

HS-PS1-2: Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
HS-PS1-3: Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles.
HS-PS2-6: Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.
