Under normal light, the Atomic Glow coloring turns the water a cool greenish-yellow color. But Atomic Glow gets its name from the color that appears when you flip on the black light. When Atomic Glow coloring is exposed to black light, the material actually glows an eerie green color that looks... well... atomic, as the kids say.

Atomic Glow coloring requires a black light to produce the eerie, greenish-yellow color seen in the picture or on Steve's online videos. That's why we include a mini LED black light along with your bottle of Atomic Glow.

Unlike our Glow Powder or other “glow-in-the-dark” substances, Atomic Glow reacts to the energy in black light. Add just a few drops of Atomic Glow to almost any of your favorite experiments and you are ready for a the perfect Halloween Science lesson… but you don’t have to wait for Halloween, Atomic Glow will “brighten up” your science classroom any time of year! You can purchase more Mini Black Lights on our site, or large sized black lights at your local party store.

What's included?

• Atomic Glow - 4 ounce bottle (120 mL)
• Mini LED black light

What does it teach?

This special coloring agent fluoresces under black light. When the energy from the black light “excites” the fluorescent dye, you end up with a brightly glowing, very exciting, addition to any (water-soluble) experiment! (For the full glowing effect, you will need to purchase a large black light, widely available during Halloween time.)
