How do astronomers discover the chemical composition of faraway stars and nebulae? In this hands-on experience, your students will observe gas tubes in a spectroscope to compare the unique spectral lines of common gases.
While also engaging with prisms and diffraction glasses, your students will investigate the properties of light related to the visible light spectrum. The scientific concepts of refraction, diffraction, and reflection are explored with engaging activities related to the electromagnetic spectrum through real-life applications.
