Make It Glow!

From glowing chemicals to glowing living things, students investigate the science behind things that glow in the dark. This program explores both chemical and biological luminescence.

Students will:

-Observe a chemiluminescent reaction using a luminol demonstration

-Experiment with variables to affect brightness and glow duration

-Learn about natural bioluminescence, including the glowing fungus known as foxfire (Armillariella mellea)

A bright and memorable way to explore chemistry and biology!
