Color blindness test

Created by
MJ
This Powerpoint "test" is given to students immediately after they perform a flame test experiment. It shows students that color interpretation isn't always the "best" method of element identification. Most of the time one or two students discover they are color blind...while this test is not an accurate indicator of color blindness (only a trained professional can diagnose this), it provides a good picture of some of the different color blindness variations.
