Abstract: Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique, provides information about the structure and composition of substances. It has been widely applied in the fields of chemistry, biology, and materials science for analysis and research. Through three years of pedagogical development, our instructional design for Raman scattering spectroscopy experiment has accumulated considerable practical experience. This experimental course is structured around three segments: qualitative, quantitative, and trace analysis, initiating with the intriguing task of distinguishing between authentic and counterfeit jadeite—a familiar challenge that ignites students’ curiosity and eagerness to delve into Raman spectroscopy. Utilizing portable Raman spectrometer enables students to gain an understanding of the instrument's construction and functionality, while mastering the fundamental concepts of Raman spectroscopy and its surface-enhanced variant. This educational venture equips students with the proficiency to adeptly conduct Raman spectroscopic analyses on solid and liquid samples, as well as trace substances, thus establishing a solid foundation for their mastery of related spectroscopy analysis courses.

Key words: Raman scattering spectroscopy, Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, Qualitative analysis, Quantitative analysis, Raman spectrometer
