Spectroscopy Demonstrations
Students study light and see what emits photons and that light can be separated onto a spectrum. In this energy and matter lesson students identify gases using a spectrum chart.
Curated OER
Projecting Spectra
Students use two methods to show and study the colors in the visible spectrum.
Curated OER
Simple Spectroscope
Students make a spectroscope out of simple materials and are expected to view as many different light sources as possible to see the whole spectrum.
Curated OER
Constructing a Spectroscope
Students construct a simple spectroscope. They observe the emission spectrum produce by a source of light.
Curated OER
Color Recognition
Students envision how space observatories make use of monochromatic filters to collect data on the color of objects in space. They see the actual colors of objects when they are in monochromatic light.
