Chemical Kinetics & Reaction Rates Phenomena-Based Lesson: Sudden Electric-Blue Chemiluminescent Flash of Forensic Luminol Catalyzed by Trace Blood Hemoglobin Presentation | Chemistry II | Grades 9–12

This is the student-facing slide presentation that introduces the phenomenon, walks the class through observations and driving questions, and frames the evidence students will use for the Phenomena-Based Lesson in the Chemistry II (grades 9–12) chapter Chemical Kinetics & Reaction Rates, built around the phenomenon Sudden Electric-Blue Chemiluminescent Flash of Forensic Luminol Catalyzed by Trace Blood Hemoglobin. It is sold separately from the other two parts of the set.
