  2. Glow Stick Chemistry

  3. Turn to the next open page of your composition book. • Title the page “Glow Stick Chemistry Lab” • Add the title to your table of contents • Write this underneath the title: • Question: How does the surrounding temperature of a glow stick affect the intensity of the glow? • Independent Variable: ______________ • Dependent Variable:_________________ • Controls:__________________________ Glow Stick Chemistry

  4. Ask the Question How does the surrounding temperature of a glow stick affect the intensity of the glow?

  5. Glow stickVariables: What is the Independent Variable for this experiment? What is the Dependent Variable for this experiment? What are the constants? IV: The surrounding temperature of the glow stick. DV: How bright the glow stick is. Constants: Beaker, thermometer, glow stick, and amount of time.

  6. Background Research • A glow stick is made up of a plastic tube with a glass vial in it. • When you bend the plastic, you break the glass vial, allowing the chemicals to mix!

  7. Background Research • A compound called Hydrogen Peroxide is inside the glass vial. • Two chemicals are outside the vial: Phenyl Oxalate Ester and Fluorescent Dye Solution.

  8. Background Research • When the compounds mix, a chemical reaction occurs. • This releases energy and causes the fluorescent dye to glow (same as a firefly). • The faster the reaction occurs, the brighter the glowstick. When the reaction is over, the glowstick stops glowing! • Temperature affects the reaction. Today we will find out how temperature affects how bright a glowstick will glow.

  9. Hypothesis Write down your hypothesis underneath the variables in your comp. book. Remember to use an “If ------- then ----- “ format. For example: If the outside temperature is warm, then the glowstick will be _______. (brighter? dimmer?)

  10. Data Table Create a data table under your hypothesis in your comp. book. Group: ____

  11. Conduct the Experiment • Fill beaker with 1 cup of : (ice OR hot water OR air) on the table • When directed by your teacher, break the glow stick and place it in the beaker at your desk. • Measure the temperature in your data chart (for your experimental group) • Once the glow stick is in the beaker, do not touch it!

  12. Taking Temperature Readings • Carefully lower the bulb end of the thermometer into the beaker. • Hold the thermometer so its bulb is near the center of the beaker. • Record the temperature into your data table.

  13. Compare Variables • When directed to, send your data manager to compare your glow stick with two other temperature groups in your class and record results in your data table. • Make sure you get their temperature data too! • If your glow stick is the brightest, write down “3”, if it is the 2nd brightest, write “2”, and if it is the dimmest, write “1”.

  14. Analyzing Data and Graphing • When asked to, enter your data in the excel chart at the front of the room. • Choose “3” for the brightest, “2” for the 2nd brightest, and “1” for the dimmest.

  15. Drawing Conclusions • Use complete sentences to Answer conclusions in your comp. book. CONCLUSION: • Was your hypothesis supported or rejected? • Explainyour answer to question #1 using data. • How does the surrounding temperature of a glow stick affect the intensity of the glow? Use the data to support your results. • What are some human errors that could have affected your data? EXPLANATION: • How did the research support your results? FURTHER QUESTIONS: • What are some further questions?
