It’s Tuesday, and time for Science this morning I’m returning with a new Homeschool Resourceinstructables to share with everyone. On this new site, we will learn how Glow Sticks made, and Charlie has been obsessed with these since he was a baby. As well as every other child I know. I couldn’t wait to share this new website not only with Charlie but his friends as well.
Recommended Website:
Age Range: All (All grades – everyone can enjoy aspects of this, with parental supervision)
Glow sticks are prevalent in stores at this time of year. We thought it would be fun to take a virtual tour of a glow stick factory. While we didn’t find an actual factory tour, we did see a terrific demonstration of how glow sticks made.
When you get to this ad-supported website, you can watch a video of a chemist creating a variety of “glow stick” reactions in red, yellow, blue, green, and white. As he performs the experiments, he identifies the chemicals used and explains the scientific reaction each produces. There are even graphs to illustrate the narration. This is a fascinating demonstration that is entertaining and educational.
Glow stick and chemistry fans will especially like this presentation.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
