Thanks! This could work. I mainly want the students in the darkened
classroom using a grating to look at light sources.

Have them look at the sky in daylight. But not directly at the sun!

In my high school astronomy class, I will be discussing light andspectrya
soon. I wish to do a lab/activity where students can analyze variousligoht
sources with a diffraction grating. It is easy to show continuousspectrca

looking for a way to show an absorption spectrum. In the past I had
students use colored filters to cover an incandescent light bulb. This
sort of mimics the atmosphere of a star.
Does anyone have other ways to show absorption spectra using simple
materials?
