Janani wanted to separate the different colours in her marker ink. she took a strip of filter paper and drew a line near the bottom with a pencil. On this line, she placed a small spot of ink. Then, she carefully placed the strip in a beaker containing a little solvent (water or alcohol), making sure the ink spot did not touch the liquid. As the solvent moved up the paper, she observed that the ink separated into different colours along the strip.
