A safe, interactive approach to identifying the metal elements present in different color flames.
About This Item
Description
The flame test is an analytical technique often used for the identification of certain elements, primarily metal ions. The color of the flame is observed and the spectra of light emitted from the flame is viewed through a spectroscope. Traditionally, this test poses safety concerns for students in a laboratory setting. This kit minimizes these concerns by utilizing small candles that are easier to manage in a lab setting. There is no loss in the clarity of the emission spectra from the candles, making it easy for students to observe and deduce what element is causing the colored flame. This kit has all of the materials needed for 5 groups, including a teacher's manual and student study guide copy masters.Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):
- Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS1A; PS1B
- Performance Expectations: MS-PS1-1; MS-PS1-2; HS-PS1-2; HS-PS1-4
- Cross Cutting Concepts: Patterns; scale, proportion and quantity; energy and matter
Kit Includes:
- 2mL Boric Acid 10% in Methanol
- 250g Sand
- 1 Package Color Flame Candles
- 1 Alcohol Burner
- 5 Diffraction Slides
- 1 Spectroscope
- 12 Small Trays
