Describe the chromatography test...including the solvent, test mixture, and medium.
Chromatograph separates different parts of a solid mixture. The solvent is what helps the test mixture move (water). The test mixture is what's being separated (food coloring). The medium is what the test mixture moves through (the chromatography paper).

Why did the food dyes separate in the chromatography test?
The different dyes had different attraction to the water so they spread out/traveled different distances.

Explain Land Bridge Theory
The most common theory about human migration to the Western Hemisphere.
When the Ice Age peaked, so much water was trapped as ice on land that sea levels dropped by 350 feet.
This theory is that humans migrated across a land bridge that was exposed when glaciers expanded.
Lower ocean levels revealed the Bering Land Bridge between Siberia in Asia and Alaska in North America._
Nomads followed their food source as they crossed over into North America.
2. What evidence supports it?
Fossil evidence in the Western Hemisphere only dates back to not more than 50,000 years ago. This leads scientists to surmise that humans migrated from Asia to the Americas.
Evidence for this theory includes Clovis Points, which are spearheads made by Stone Age inhabitants of the Americas.

Give an example of a substance that uses emulsifier and why we need it.
Salad dressing and we need it to mix the vinegar and oil together. The emulsifier attracts the molecules of 2 liquids that do not typically mix.
