UV
Beads
|
Watch
white beads change to colored when taken outside the building! When
returned they turn back to white. What causes the change? Humidity?
Temperature? Fresh air? Birds flying overhead? The beads contain
pigments which react with ultra-violet light from the sun, even on a
cloudy day. They also change with most classroom UV light sources.
Students can make their own UV light-detecting bracelet by stringing
the beads on a pipe stem or strip of rawhide. Great for teaching UV
awareness! Use the beads to test the UV blocking effectiveness of
suntan lotion, sunglasses, windows, etc.
Available in five colors. All beads are pale, off-white in the absence
of UV light. The ultraviolet beads will cycle back and forth (to bright
colors and back again) over 50,000 times! Approximately 250 beads per
package. Lesson activities included.
