Hi!

A while back I picked up some flourecent black lights with the hope of doing
something cool with them in my classroom. I have yet to find anything other
than the obvious:

(1) Shining it on different colors and looking at the changes in appearance.
(2) Shining it on certain types of rocks.
(3) Putting it over my scorpion and watching it phosphorese.

Has anyone come across any great ideas in their teaching experience?
