Tunable Photonic Gels

submitted by: GloucesterHigh-APchem
This demonstration illustrates physics, chemistry and engineering to all grade levels, from kindergarten through high school. Elementary students gain observation skills. Middle school students learn about elements, compounds, and mixtures plus physical and chemical changes. High school students gain knowledge of a variety of chemistry and physics features such as redox, chemical bonding, motion and forces and wavelengths.The hydrophobic block-hydrophilic polyelectrolyte block polymer gel...
