Abstract
Raman spectroscopy based activities were developed and implemented into the first year chemistry undergraduate curriculum. The implementation of these experiences and experiments and the utility of Raman spectroscopy as a teaching tool to convey anchoring chemistry concepts using a hands-on Raman spectroscopy based approach are discussed. Fundamental principles of chemistry, such as the interaction of light with matter, molecular bonding, equilibrium, and acid base reactions are facilitated through use of these Raman spectroscopy based experiments and experiences. An assessment of student learning gains as a result of participation in a Raman spectroscopy experience was also conducted and is discussed.
