Flame Test Lab
by Amanda Stalvey Harrison
The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn to use the Spectroscopes in the Gas Tube Spectrum demo and compare what they see to the teacher's spectra sheet.
After practicing with the spectroscopes, students get to take their skills into the lab to conduct flame tests and identify the line spectra for each metal compound. Lastly, students will match and identify the unknown solutions by comparing the line spectra and flame colors.
