Spectroscopy Science Fair Projects

Spectroscopy science fair projects utilize spectrometers and usually a microscope. This technology is used to examine various organic and inorganic materials using different light spectrums given off by gases. Physics science experiments that use spectroscopy are complex and difficult to set up, but they can be very interesting and always are unique.

To create world winning science fair projects you first need to select good hypotheses for your spectroscopy science fair projects. One hypothesis that you can work with is that different gases produce different spectrums of light. You will need to use a spectrometer to test this hypothesis.

Infrared spectrometers can be used to examine if a piece of art is authentic. For spectroscopy science fair projects of this variety, you will need to conduct background research to see how this is actually done. If you live near a museum you can talk with them and get a demonstration of how spectrometers are used to verify the validity of a piece of art. Explain how it's done.

Ultraviolet spectroscopy can be used to produce clear pictures of celestial bodies. To test this hypothesis you will need to visit an observatory or use the data collected by NASA. To develop physics science fair projects for this hypothesis you will need to explain how NASA uses far ultraviolet spectroscopic technology to identify and record amazing celestial bodies. How can this technology be improved?

Spectroscopy can be used to create paint colors. For this experiment you will want to go to your local home improvement center. Here custom paint colors are created using a machine that uses a spectrometer to analyze the color pigments in a color sample. It then takes this information and translates it into a custom formula for paint.

Flame emission spectroscopy can be used to identify the light spectrums produced by gases. To test this hypothesis you will need to set up safe experiments that utilize spectrometers to analyze the gas vapors produced by objects like florescent tubes. An advanced variation on this project would involve learning how to identify a gas based on its spectrometer reading.

Maglev trains student science fair projects are very interesting. They take a look at the various ways to levitate a train using the power of magnets. If this is an area of science that interests you then you have several great electronics science experiments to choose from. Here are just a few options.

Experiment with Microbes	Magnetometer High School Science Fair Projects	DNA Extraction	PicoTurbine Educational Windmill Kit	SCG-125 Snap Circuits Green Alternative Energy
Ages 10+	Ages 12 and up	Ages 11 and up	Age 12 thru High School Discount for Schools & Groups	Age 8 thru high school

Creating an advanced spectroscopic science fair project is not difficult to do. All you have to do is to apply what you have learned from the above projects to a practical task, like verifying the authenticity of a painting or creating paint colors. The value of the application that you select will impact the score your project receives.
