Rainbow Fire Kit
Product Code : JLI-CLE-11270
Quick Answer: The Rainbow Fire Kit uses a simple flame test to compare the colours of light given off when four different metal compounds are burned, linking flame colour to atomic composition. Safety gear is included and adult supervision is needed.
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Key Features
- Four different chemicals for flame tests.
- Compare the colour of light produced by each metal compound.
- Relates flame colours to how astronomers find the make-up of stars from the light they emit.
- Safety gear included; adult supervision and proper handling required.
- Household items such as matches, aluminium foil and a heat-resistant bowl are also needed.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Chemicals | Four metal compounds |
| Included | Safety gear |
| Also needed | Masking tape, container of water, white glue, heat-resistant bowl, pen or marker, aluminium foil, matches |
| Work surface | Hard, non-flammable outdoor surface |
How It Is Used
Working outdoors on a hard, non-flammable surface under adult supervision, students burn each compound in turn and note the colour of its flame. Comparing the colours shows that each compound gives its own colour of light, the same basic principle astronomers use when reading the spectra of stars.
Frequently Asked Questions
