Homeschool Science Supplement at Plains Conservation Center: Plant Pigments

In this class, students will use different scientific techniques to extract plant pigments from a variety of leaves. We will then use the process of chromatography to explore what pigments are found and talk about the role that the different pigments play in photosynthesis. This will provide the necessary knowledge to understand how leaves change color in the fall.

Homeschool science supplement classes are designed for 4th-9th graders to expand on their scientific knowledge and skills.

Audience: Homeschool families with children in grades 4 - 9.

Program Fee: $16 per child, $14 per member child; One adult per child is free of charge. Additional adults and non-participating siblings ages 3 and up are $7 each. Non-participating siblings do not participate in take home activities.

Location: Plains Conservation Center, 21901 E. Hampden Avenue, Aurora, CO 80013
