I am sure she learned a lot about the scientific process through this activity. One thing that you can easily try is paper chromatography. Cut a coffee filter into strips. about an inch from the bottom draw a pencil line. On the pencil line place the back of your leaf and roll a coin over it. This will transfer the color onto the filter. In a glass add a quarter to half inch of rubbing alcohol. Put the filter in the alcohol with the line down (the line should be above the alcohol). Let the alcohol rise up the paper and watch the pigments of the leaf separate out (reds, yellows, oranges, and greens to absorb different wavelengths of light). Also try this with different colors of markers and ink. Have fun exploring the world of science!
