This resource has two activities to help model fractional distillation to give students a greater understanding of the process. The first activity involves setting up space in the lab as a model fractionating column. There are a set of cards with different temperatures, names of fractions and the length of the carbon chains.
The second activity involves students making paper chains to represent the different sized molecules. A pile of chains of different lengths represents crude oil. Teaching notes are included.
