Demonstrating Chemistry - Spectacular Experiments: Glowsticks

Prof Hal Sosabowski demonstrates how glowsticks work in this visually impressive experiment, which can be used to teach about luminescence and rates of reaction. He mixes the chemicals in both standard and ultra-bright glowsticks, showing how the concentration of reactants can affect the speed of the reaction. Prof Hal Sosabowski is a committed chemistry educator, evangelist and communicator. Hal shows us how to safely recreate his inspirational demonstrations, which are both educational and spectacular.
