Description

Glowsticks use chemiluminescence to glow. Glow sticks emit light when two chemicals are mixed. A glow sticks consist of a thin brittle container that is enclosed within a flexible outer container. Each container holds a different solution to produce different colours. When the outer container is flexed, the inner container breaks, allowing the solutions to combine, causing the glowing effect. The reaction between the two chemicals is catalyzed by a base, usually sodium salicylate.

Teaching ideas for glowsticks

Is the glowing different when you place the stick into iced water vs warm water (don’t use hot or you could damage the glowsticks).
After starting the glowing effect, compare shaking the glowstick thoroughly mix the components vs not at all.
How long do the glowsticks last?
Can your datalogger or light sensor on a robot pick up the light?
Research insects, mushrooms and other living creatures that glow in the dark.

Fizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen. This was delivered safely and effectively, capturing both the children and the parents for the duration of the presentation.
