It's lab day for my CP chemistry classes and we're doing one of my favorites: the flame test! In this week's video I'll talk about how I prep my students for how to do the lab as well as compare the different ways I've conducted the lab with students over the years. What's your favorite way to do the flame test? Why?
Thank you so much for watching!

I too use the wire loop, the only downside (other than the set up & possible cross contamination) is that sometimes the students leave the loop in the flame for too long and it will skew their results to where they think the color is orange since the loop burns orange & after a lot of uses, the loop part breaks off of the stick.
