Basically what I learned spectroscopy was dealing with how colors appear and how they come to be by their wavelengths and frequencies. It is also the study of interaction between matter and raidated enegery. I found a video relating to one of our big topics now, stars. It is about the spectrum of stars.

Spectroscopy/Spectroscopes
Okay, so Ashley had already posted a video on how to make one version of a spectroscope, but I found this really cool website. Not only does it have two ways to make a different spectroscope, but it also has almost a mini lesson on what spectroscopy in a simple, easy to understand way. I learned a lot with just that small amount of background knowledge.

http://loke.as.arizona.edu/~ckulesa/camp/spectroscopy_intro.htmlFrom this site I found the defined spectroscopy as the dispertian of light into its component colors. It also told me that astronomers use spectroscopy as a way to determines a stars temerature composition and even mass. It is hard to belive that all this is done through the observation of light and its properties, such as wavelength and frequency. Quite a fascinating study if you ask me.
What I Want To Learn This Year
I was always a fan of microorganisms. When our sixth grade class viewed those tiny creatures I was fascinated. There was a whole world that was too small for me to see and now there it was before me. So if I had any control I would put microbiology in the ciriculum.
AWESOME WEBSITE FOR SPECTROSCOPY!!!!!
I DISCOVERED THIS REALLY COOL WEBSITE ON SPECTROSCOPY. IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING FROM WHAT LIGHT IS TO THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPECTRA. LINK BELOW AND ENJOY!!

Spectroscopy
This post is supposed to be about what is Spectroscopy... Spectroscopy is the use of Spectroscopes to analyze the light spectrum, I found a video on how to make a Spectroscope, it also explains the colors and how you see from the Spectroscope.
