Chemiluminescence
In a chemiluminescence chemical reaction, light is generated as a product. What causes light to be generated from chemicals that interact? This chemistry lesson explores the reasons why light is generated through a review of electron movement, ion formation, photon absorption and emission, with an introduction to oxidation-reduction reactions that characterize chemiluminescence. The lesson includes a demonstration of chemiluminescence reactions. In addition to the one day lesson, there is a one day lab component in which students explore the relationship between glow stick reaction rates with temperature and external light.

In this lesson on "Friction Fires and Its Associated Phenomena" the objectives are as follows: Students will be able to explain the process of friction fire, including the materials and techniques
In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and
This lesson allows students to investigate the relationships between current, voltage, and resistance using an Arduino board and electronic components, and through the PhET simulation: Circuit
