Halloween Science: Spooky Glow in the Dark Jars

We really hope this activity will excite all of you but it is important to know how glow in the dark material works:


Glow paints do not contain light in them. But they do have a pigment known as phosphor that makes them glow in the dark. Phosphor can accumulate light energy like  from the sun and when it's dark, it glows. When phosphor comes in contact with sun or any other form of light it absorbs the photons and later in the dark, the paint emits these photons. The photons thus released emit a phosphorescent glow. This process is known as photoluminescence.

One more day till Halloween and one more exciting activity! Happy Haunting!

Halloween Science: Erupting Pumpkin!

Sometimes the simplest Halloween activities for kids turn out to be the most fun! All you need for this activity is a carved pumpkin, some baking soda, and vinegar. Food colouring is optional but highly recommended as it adds to the fun Science!

Fill up the pumpkin with about 4-6 tablespoons of baking soda and a few drops of food colouring.

Then pour the vinegar in until it foam and you will see the eruptions begin!

Easy isn't it? To some this may look a little gross, but it is a Halloween activity after all ;) Try to experiment with smaller pumpkins to see if you can get the eruptions to come out of the entire pumpkin face. Enjoy it!

Halloween Science: Static Electricity Dancing Ghost

It's Halloween month! We are challenging you to do science with your kids with a Halloween twist. Ever seen a dancing ghost before? Let's have fun making ghost out of the tissue paper and use static electricity to move the ghost around.

Here’s what you need:

• balloon or a plastic spoon
• tissue paper
• markers
• scissors
• tape
• woollen clothes

Cut out your Halloween Ghost shapes from the tissue paper. After cutting out the ghost, draw the eyes and mouth using marker pen.

Tape the bottom of your ghost to the table (If you don’t tape down your tissue paper, your Halloween Ghost will most likely just get stuck to the balloon/plastic spoon).
Rub the balloon or the plastic spoon on a woollen clothes to gather some extra electrons. Move the balloon over your Halloween Ghost. The tissue paper ghost will rise up. As you move the balloon/plastic spoon around, the tissue paper ghost will move as well.

Have fun with your dancing ghost! Stay tune for more Spooky Halloween Science!
