A series of collaborative learning activities and accompanying text that develop the areas of molecular and atomic spectroscopy is provided. Chapters on basics of spectrophotometry, ultraviolet/visible absorption, molecular fluorescence, infrared, Raman and atomic spectroscopy are included. These activities are intended to be done in class by students working in groups, but can be modified for use…
Students explore basic aspects of infrared spectroscopy including the operation of an FT-IR. There is an associated text that explains the answers to the questions on the worksheet.
Students explore the effect of different variables on the resulting FT-IR spectrum.
This activity develops the concepts behind radiative forcing and its relevance in climate change.
This card game was designed for review sessions before instrumental analysis exams. Students draw and discard cards, attempting to collect one from each suit that comprise a logical set of components for a specific application. There are card decks for spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chromatography applications.
