How does it work?

Don't blink your eyes because our color-changing beads are formulated to make the beads more reactive to the sun and the colors more vibrant. The solar-active pigment in the beads keeps the beads from permanently discoloring and speeds up the time it takes for the beads to change back to their original white color. The pigment in the beads makes them only reactive to UV light, like the rays emitted from the sun. The energy beads are not affected by light from light bulbs that do not emit ultraviolet light. The beads will remain white indoors, when shielded from sunlight.

What does it teach?

Use the beads to teach kids about the ultraviolet radiation and the care that needs to be taken to prevent the damage it may cause. Ultraviolet (UV) light is the invisible radiation that will give you a sunburn and injure your eyes if you're not careful. Sunglasses and sunscreens absorb UV photons. You can test their protective qualities by using your UV detecting beads.
