Product Details

Put safety first with this unique flame test demonstration! Coloring flames with metallic salts is a great way to demonstrate the emission spectra of metal salts. By adding a pump of hand sanitizer to different salts, the flames will burn in a rainbow display. Borosilicate glass Petri dishes are required and available separately; hand sanitizer is not included.

Concepts: Visible spectra.
Time Required: 15 minutes.

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.
MS-PS1-1. Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
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.
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.
