Raman spectroscopy based activities were developed and implemented into the first year
chemistry undergraduate curriculum. The implementation of these experiences and
experiments and the utility of Raman spectroscopy as a teaching tool to convey anchoring
chemistry concepts using a hands-on Raman spectroscopy based approach are discussed.
Fundamental principles of chemistry, such as the interaction of light with matter, molecular
bonding, equilibrium, and acid base reactions are facilitated through use of these Raman
spectroscopy based experiments and experiences. An assessment of student learning gains
as a result of participation in a Raman spectroscopy experience was also conducted and is
discussed. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
