Analyzing Starlight / Spectral Analysis Lab (Digital and Face to Face)

There are few things as fun as a spectral analysis lab in an astronomy unit. I have always had the good fortune of having all of the materials to run this lab in person – complete with spectral tubes and prism glasses – but I realized that not all teachers had the same opportunity. All of the simulations I found online simply weren’t high quality or very engaging, that’s why I put this package together. In this download you will find three versions of a Starlight Lab, all of them designed to teach students how astronomers know what stars are made by giving students the opportunity to analyze the spectra of various elements. In versions 1 and 2 of the lab this is done digitally whereas version 3 of the lab shows how I run things in person with all of the physical equipment.
