Guests at a dinner party are falling ill. A few have even succumbed to the illness. What poison killed them? Why did some only get sick and others die? In this hands-on workshop, we will show you how to use spectroscopy and Beer’s Law to answer these questions. At the end, you'll take away an engaging experiment that will get your students excited about spectroscopy.
