atomic spectroscopy

Deanna Cullen, Scott Milam, Doug Ragan, and I recently published an article, Rapid Formation of Copper Patinas: A Simple Chemical Demonstration of Why the Statue of Liberty Is Green, in the Journal of Chemical Education¹ that describes how to create a blue-green

Students typically arrive in my chemistry class with little understanding of light. In spite of focusing on particle representations throughout the year students routinely struggle immensely with drawing particle representations of hydrogen particles emitting four colors of light while 10,000 volts are put across the hydrogen spectral tube.

By Tom Kuntzleman, Mike Nydegger, and Mike Buratovich During June of 2018, we held our 14^th annual science camp at Spring Arbor University (SAU): Over 120 K – 8^th grade students enjoyed an entire week of science experiments, demonstrations, and activities!
