Kit #2:  Things that Glow


First, listen to a read-aloud with Mrs. Bailey of the book Glow:  Animals with Their Own Nightlights, by W.H. Beck. There are different options to choose from based on student age or time available.
Young student version:  
Full version: 
I read/you read version: 

Next, open your kit, and follow the instructions inside.  You'll be making a black light secret message (check out Steve Spangler Science for more info), and experimenting with glow-in-the-dark stars and glow sticks.   

Just for Fun
Learn more about glowing science or do some fun activities:  
  • Experiment with temperature and glow sticks
  • Video about bioluminescence
  • Use your highlighter to make letter matching cards, or flashcards to work on vocabulary.  Study your letters or words using your black light flashlight! 
  • Did you know your black light flashlight can be used to detect fake (counterfeit) money? 
  • Watch the first couple of minutes of this video to learn about "yooperlites", Michigan's own glowing rocks.
