Electromagnetic Spectrum

In many chemistry courses, spectroscopy-based experiments are performed in lab. I personally find the overall topic of spectroscopic analysis fascinating and its applications can be found in numerous fields of study.

One of the inherent challenges of teaching chemistry is to make the invisible, visible. Often, we try to overcome this barrier by getting creative with a variety of models, animations, and simulations to help students think about chemistry in a way that is easier to conceptualize.
