In 2020 with COVID19, we were unable to bring students physically into the laboratories to see the analytical chemistry instruments. To help replace this in-person experience, our teaching team prepared videos showcasing common analytical chemistry instruments, e.g. FTIR and UV/vis spectroscopy. 

Given the new HSC syllabus, especially the Module 8 content, we thought these might be of general interest to NSW Year 12 high school students. Here, we show the instruments in a chemistry laboratory, but the same types of instruments attached to a telescope can be used to study exoplanetary atmospheres, as described by the Biosignatures Depth Study described on the other pages of this website.
