We collected yellow and green leaves, chopped them up in jars, poured a special mixture in and made predictions on which leaves would give the most colour out. We found that the green leaves gave the most colour. Although we could spot a little bit of yellow on the filter papers. We said next time we do the experiment we were going to use white filter papers so we could see the colour better! We even talked about how this might not have been a fair test, because one of the jars was bigger than the other one. Well done scientists!
