Mastering IR spectroscopy with hands-on models
How a simple spring and trolly set-up helps post-16 learners grasp the underlying theory
Discover how a chemistry teacher builds a simple spring and trolley model to help her post-16 learners see infrared (IR) spectroscopy vibrations to improve their grasp of the underlying theory. This article describes the model as well as an associated plenary and an extension task and shares the learning outcomes witnessed after the lesson.
