This lab investigates heat flow when mixing liquids of different
temperatures, offering students the opportunity to think about how the
XRS gets down to 0.06 K.
This lab illustrates creative methods for cooling by presenting a
technique for creating supercooled water. This
may be done as a demonstration, but can be easily integrated into a
chemistry or physics class as a lab exercise.
This activity illustrates the law of reflection with a twist! It shows
how grazing incidence is necessary for x-rays to reflect off a mirror in
order to be focused.
The objective of this series of lessons is to have
high school students read and write about the chemistry and
spectroscopy of stars and supernova remnants, as well as understand
their relevance and impact on human life. The students will also
learn about cutting edge technology that will help us to build better
instruments with which to study the Universe. This lesson features
simulated XRS data. This lesson is on the Imagine the Universe! site.
