What about glow in the dark? I had out my UV flashlight to see if any of the rocks in my set fluoresce. My friend said she had hosted a glow in the dark party. What a great idea! She made glow in the dark jello with tonic water. Lots of things glow under a UV light: detergents, stains on shirts, toothpaste with whitener, $20 bills, banana spots, Vaseline, white copy paper, and certain plastics. Here is a list of fun ideas.
1. Check the objects listed with UV flashlight.
2. UV beads and sunscreen tests
3. Hand washing and UV germs (Glo Germ Kit)
4. Add Glow in the dark pigment to slime or paint.
5. Cool Blue Light experiment
6. Fluorescent Magic Sand
7. Instant Light Powder
8. Light sticks lab
9. Crunch up Wintergreen Lifesavers. See if it work with hammers.
10. Glow in the dark galaxy jar
11. Glow in the dark Constellation Cards
12. Glow in the dark tattoos and UV Inkies
13. Solar Active Toys
14. Use sun activated and thermochromic pigments to make paint, add to slime, or sand. Try thermochromic tape.
These are quick activities. Have extra materials the kids can paint, such as plastic bracelets or Dollar Tree toys to extend these activities. Buy a few commercial products to use as comparison. The kids are going to love these!
