Abstract
Phosphorescent paint can be used to produce creative and fun effects in the dark. Some particularly impressive and spectacular effects can be created with a phosphorescent panel made of plywood (e.g., luminous lettering, filigree shadows, laser pointer effects, interference patterns). The difference in energy between different wavelengths of visible light can be easily illustrated with a phosphorescence panel. In addition, phosphorescent paint can be used to promote interdisciplinary cooperation between chemistry and art lessons. “Glow-in-the-dark” paint offers many starting points for lessons on the topics of energy and light, can be combined with a playful fun factor, and is suitable as a motivating introduction or as a school experiment.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
