NEVER. STOP. EXPLORING. Did you know that the average student spends a quarter of their lifetime studying? Throughout my study in secondary school, and most prominently in Authority English it has been made crystal clear that high school is nothing more but the beginning of a book called life, and that we have the opportunity to explore.

The purpose of this lab was to get used to using lab machinery such as the spectrometer. Spectroscopy is the interaction of matter and electromagnetic radiation. Most of our lab was based on the idea that matter would absorb and then reflect the colors we wanted to see based on the dyes we used.
