Chemistry can be fun, especially if it’s introduced early in life through experimentation.
There are some fun activities included in summer tasks so that you can explore the learnt
concepts in detail through fun learning. The first activity is about chromatography.
T-SHIRT CHROMATOGRAPHY
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
WHAT IS CHROMATOGRAPHY?
Chromatography is:
A method of separating the substances in a mixture by the rate they move through or
along a medium.
Which is just a fancy way of saying that chromatography is a way of separating
substances along some type of filter material, like a t-shirt or a coffee filter.
Scientists use a solvent, which will dissolve all the molecules in a mixture. For this method
to work, the molecules in the mixture need to be different sizes. This is so that the solvent
can carry the molecules along the filter material at different rates.
Basically, the smaller the molecule is, the farther a solvent will carry it. In this way,
chromatography can separate the molecules in a mixture according to their size.
Additional Vocabulary
▪ Molecule– A substance which is made up of two or more elements that are
chemically bonded.
▪ Mixture – A combination of two or more elements or compounds that are not
chemically combined.
▪ Solvent – The substance in which the solute dissolves to form a solution, typically a
liquid.

Passage :1
Eggs are one of God’s great gifts to the human race. What other food comes ready
wrapped in its own protective shell, which keeps out dirt and germs? They even come
fresh almost daily from hens, as long as you feed them well enough. Not only are they full
of nutrition but they taste delicious as well.
Sportsmen such as wrestlers and weightlifters eat dozens of raw eggs to build up their
muscles, but there are many ways of cooking them: they can be boiled, fried, scrambled or
baked. They can be used to make cakes, sauces, sweets and many other dishes. They
can even be pickled in vinegar so that they can be kept for months or even years. The
Chinese have a dish called “Hundred year eggs; but I’ve never dared to try it!
Passage :2
Without uttering a word Nelli sat down and began to cry. She wept bitterly, shaking all

propped his head on his hand, and looked at his visitor with fixed, sleepy eyes. “My
husband is ill!” Nelli continued, restraining her sobs. “For God’ s sake come quickly. Make
Passage: 3
Child labor is a serious issue all over the world. In Pakistan it is on the increase because
families are finding it hard to make ends meet. Poverty is a major problem in Pakistan and
the cause of child labor in the country. Child labor cause mental, physical, moral, and
social harm to children. The number of child laborers in Pakistan is about 10 million.
According to statistics, almost 3.8 million children aged between 5-14 years are working in
Pakistan out of a total 140 million children. Almost 50 percent of these economically active
children are in the 5 to 9 years age group. The government has made primary education
compulsory for everyone. But action should speak louder than words. It is the
government’s responsibility to open and run more schools to ensure quality education for
all Citizens. This is the only way to ensure that future of Pakistan is safe and educated.
