Why?
How From does light fireworks reveal to the stars,behavior the color of of electrons light in is useful an atom?
in finding out what’s in matter. The emission of light
by hydrogen and other atoms has played a key role in understanding the electronic structure of atoms.
Evidence from a crime scene, lead (Pb) in paint, or mercury (Hg) in drinking water can be identified by
heating or burning the materials and examining the color(s) of light given off in the form of bright-line
spectra.

Flinn Scientific and the POGIL® Project have collaborated to publish a new series of
student-centered learning activities for high school chemistry and biology. POGIL
activities:
• Create an interactive, inquiry learning environment.
• Empower students to construct their own understanding of key concepts.
• Inspire passion and creativity for the learning process and problem-solving.
• Simultaneously increase content mastery and reasoning skills.
