Electrons and Light Part 1
by Laura Winder
This is a phenomena-based introduction to how emission spectra of elements and the connection to electrons and energy levels. Students first get to explore the emission spectra of several gases using diffraction gratings, and also view the different colors of light visible as metal salts are heated in a flame. Students fill in an OWL notes sheet to record what they observe and wonder. They then get to watch two short videos and explore two simulations to learn more about how the different colors of light are produced.
