Chlorophyll is something that helps plants make food and indirectly gives us air to breath. However, for some reason, we wanted to extract something that means so much to our society and to the plants just to test whether starch is present in the leaf.
Well, anyway, this experiment is by far the longest experiment, that i can remember that we have ever done. This experiment also needed many apparatus, such as 2 beakers, a vegetated leaf (its still a leaf), alcohol, iodine, white tile, forceps and a bunsen burner.
This experiment should be called testing for starch since that is the main objective of the experiment, extracting the chlorophyll is just part of it.
This experiment has taught me not only the few scientific stuff that i should know, but also national education, telling me why Singapore needs to have many trees around making this experiment special and different from the others.
