Help me give my students opportunities to learn colorimetry and determine solution concentration.

My Project
Modern chemical techniques are largely based on modern technology, and very often computer-based. Colorimeters are an inexpensive way for students to be introduced to spectrophotometry. With access to modern technology, students are more engaged and able to grasp concepts such as absorbance/transmittance and how the concentration of chemical compounds can be determined.
In Chemistry and AP Chemistry, students build standard curves using solutions of known concentration, and then use the best fit line to analyze solutions of unknown concentration.
This can be used in many different labs and for countless colored compounds using the available wavelengths.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
