A quantum spin on an old chemisty favorite, the flame test. Here, students will explore how electrons act as messengers. Using ground and excited states of electrons the idea of superposition can be examined and explored.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
This activity is used in an introductory biology course to help teach experimental design and characteristics of life. Students use real research videos and art to help explore the concepts.
Material Type: Activity/Lab, Formative Assessment
This is a great set of labs that will reveal to students the chemistry behind making pigments and provides a unique balance between chemistry and art concepts. Chemistry concepts include data analysis, chemical reactions, limiting and excess reagents, and percent yield. Art skills utilized include combining pigments with a binder to create watercolor paints and utilizing watercolor painting techniques to create a piece of artwork.
