Foldable crude oil fractional distillation column. With extended answer question (differentiated)

(0)
Create a fractional distillation column which folds open to show the fractions inside. There is plenty of space to colour and for teacher autonomy. Fractions are folded inwards so can not be seen until the cover is taken off. Fractions then fold out. There is also an extended question sheet that is the correct to stick over the inside cover to stretch learners to explain what is happening inside the column. Included is a mark scheme (what points exam boards look for) and a differentiated key points sheet that could be given out or used instead of the extended answers. See photos included for how foldable is fitted together. Foldable pictures are B+W however could quite easily be printed in colour.
