This kit contains chemical coated labels that change color with temperature fluxuations. In designing the labels, I created color combinations that modeled color changes in fall leaves. For example, some green leaves turn yellow in the fall. Leaves are green due to the presence of the green pigment called chlorophyll. The yellow color in leaves […]
Chlelate: Chlorophyll

More complex organic compounds contain carbon, hydrogen, and other elements such as oxygen and nitrogen. A chelate is an organic compound with a central metal ion. Chlorophyll is one of the most important chelates in nature. In the diagram, the […]
