Title Discovering Beer’s Law by a Simulation-based Laboratory
Description Uses the PhET Beer's Law Simulation to derive Beer's Law. Students are instructed how to use the sim including a link to a video. Students then proceed to investigate pathlength, wavelength, and concentration. Post-lab questions use data collected in the lab to see if students have grasp the concepts in the activity.
