What is a flame test you ask?
Well for one thing it is a series of paintings in progress that I am working on this month for my Patreon supported science and art project. But the real-deal is that the flame test is a fascination and eye catching technique used in science to determine what precise elements are present. The other cool thing about the “Flame Test” is that it is actually part of the science behind pyrotechnics. When you see fireworks, you see the flame test!
I created a short video with my science advisor for this project, chemist and all around bad-ass, Dr Ray Burks.
I hope you enjoy this short video that explains the science behind the flame test.
