Thank You for this very clear Explanation! I find it very interesting to learn about this. I will be doing this in school soon so I wanted to get over beaning queasy about it.
Why are they so baffled at doctor offices when you ask for them to do a simple test like this? Compartmentalized idiots we usually call them now! We did this in high school. Now they get frustrated rude and say bs.
I like the idea of including food colouring, that's a great teaching trick to show the concentration gradient! I think my students sometimes struggle with visualizing this with a verbal explanation alone.
WOW the experiment now for me seems so easy after watching every step of it carefully and also the brief summary in the end made it even more illustratable to one's mind .thank you
