Build and use a simple spectroscope

As part of the Your Place In Space initiative, the National Science Foundation (NSF) invites you to explore their space-inspired K-12 STEM resources on its agency website. We hope you find helpful materials that equip and empower your students to discover, explore, and create their place in space! 

This is a classroom activity that's associated with the LIGO Lab website. Students build a spectroscope from a cardboard box.
