Recently, we used these tools in a captivating lesson called \"Elements in the Sky,\" where students observed the unique light spectra emitted by different elements. Witnessing the colorful bands firsthand, they connected these patterns to the Big Bang Theory and star formation, making abstract cosmic concepts tangible and thrilling. One unforgettable moment was when a student exclaimed in awe, \"It's like looking back in time at how stars are born!\"—a moment that truly ignited their passion for astronomy.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the spectrum tubes and power supply, their excitement was contagious. Many were fascinated by the glowing lights and eager to experiment with identifying each element's signature colors. This hands-on experience sparked lively discussions about the universe's origins and the science behind how we understand distant stars. Moving forward, our next step is to deepen their exploration by analyzing real astronomical data and creating projects that illustrate how spectroscopy helps scientists uncover the secrets of space. Your generosity has opened a window to the cosmos for our students, inspiring curiosity and wonder that will fuel their learning journey for a long time.","fullyFundedDate":1692970402109,"projectUrl":"project/elements-in-the-sky/7480732/","projectTitle":"Elements in the Sky!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Evans","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4640052_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507252393676","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jessie-evans"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38856","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":740,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"8 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":54.3,"schoolId":38856,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hampshire Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hampshire Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/hampshire-county-school-district/hampshire-senior-high-school/38856"}
