> Thanksgiving Spectroscopy, Grants, and More for Richard
> Cranberries, pumpkin, spinach… and spectrophotometers? If November leaves you wondering what experiments can brighten an autumn day, read about our plant pigments lab featuring Thanksgiving favorites. 
> 
> Curious about grants? We’ve got you covered with our annual NSTA Technology Award and our Engineering Contest. Deadlines are quickly approaching.

> Bring the Thanksgiving Table into Your Laboratory
> 
> Our resident biologists are excited about the Thanksgiving season, so they investigated the visible light absorbance spectra of plant pigments from some traditional favorites, such as pumpkin and cranberries, using the SpectroVis Plus spectrophotometer. You can do this with your students, as well, by following the protocol in Investigation 14 "Plant Pigments," from our Investigating Biology through Inquiry lab book.

> Is Thanksgiving Dinner Aggravating Your Acid Indigestion?
> 
> Michele Perrin, of St. Louis, Missouri, has written a tasty experiment for Thanksgiving using Go Wireless® pH and iPad® or LabQuest 2. Which holiday ingredient—cranberry juice, chicken broth, or sweet pickle juice—is most likely to have the lowest pH? Encourage your students to bring their own favorites to test.

> Investigate the Three Types of Nuclear Radiation: α, β, and γ
> 
> Challenge your students to use the Vernier Radiation Monitor to develop a model for the relative absorption of α (alpha), β (beta), and γ (gamma) radiation by matter and to analyze the count rate data to test for consistency with their model.
