Excellent! I am going to use this in my Grade 6 class. It is a real science experiment and they will not understand it all, but I can explain it at their level. It will make a wonderful lab report and will keep their attention! The advanced students will enjoy the challenge. This lab can be differentiated for all levels. Thank you!
