Regrowing Green Onions update

Well I guess they do regrow!

I started them on Tuesday and yesterday I was shocked to see a bit of growth.  This morning there is even more!  How cool is that????

Can you regrown green onions? Day 1

I know we have all seen posts or pins about regrowing green onions.  So after I cut up the ones for dinner, I put the white parts with the little roots still attached into tall shot glasses.  I wonder what they will look like in a few days.

Stay tuned.......

Chromatography, what is it?

Chroma is the Greek word for color.  Chromatography is a method used to separate compounds in a mixture.

What you need:
White Coffee Filter cut into strips
Tall clear glasses
water
Tape
Water Soluble markers and one permanent marker
Pencils or skewers

Place a dot about one inch from the end of a coffee filter strip.  Tape the other end around a pencil or skewer.  Place the skewer on the lip of the glass.  Carefully add water to the glass until it barely touches the bottom of the filter strip.  Then wait to see what happens.

When I asked her why the permanent marker didn't do anything, she so smartly told me because the ink doesn't dissolve in water.

Then for fun I tried to peel an onion skin.  That is cool, but I wish I had iodine to stain it.

Miss V has been checking all the samples out for the past 40 minutes and hearing "Oh this is so cool!"
