Product Details

Bring practical applications to your lesson on spectroscopy, light or ultraviolet radiation with a lab that mimics aspects of the photographic process. Students will make their own sheets of photosensitive (also called blueprint) paper in the laboratory by dipping porous paper in two different iron salt solutions. Students will then develop images of their choice by exposing the treated paper to ultraviolet light from the sun. Background information, detailed procedure and all necessary photographic chemicals to make 100 “photographs” or images are included in the kit.

Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Opaque or translucent “nonmetallic” objects are needed to make the images.

Performance Expectations

MS-PS1-2: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
HS-PS1-1: Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
HS-PS1-2: Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
