Spectroscopy in a Suitcase (SIAS)
- The RSC's Spectroscopy in a Suitcase scheme is an outreach activity which gives school students the chance to learn about spectroscopy through hands-on experience. As well as covering the principles of spectroscopic techniques, the activities use real-life contexts to demonstrate the applications of the techniques.
- More details can be found here.
- There are now (March 2012) 2 SIAS kits in the South West region; one shared by Bath and Bristol the other by Plymouth and Exeter.
