Update: Here is the virtual lab the kids are using in addition to Benign and Flinn below.
Update: Here is the blog post with photos from the flame test lab the Co-op kids did last year. Note the kids used butane lighters for the flame tests—which I had forgotten. The kids used wooden coffee stir sticks as splints, too. Hope this helps!
My kids are finally starting Quantum and Electron Configurations this week. Let me share my resources: Beyond Benign Flame Tests, Household Flame Tests, Flinn Flame Test Lab, and Electron Configurations ppt. The kids will use Color Flame candles; I put candle sets in the Chem kits. I want them to do the math and complete the table in the Flinn Flame test lab using the instructions from the Beyond Benign Flame test lab. When we do the lab in class, we use sterno. You can use a camp stove or use three tea candles as a heat source.
