Workshop Information

Why do some materials glow while others stay dark? Glow Getters invites children to investigate light, fluorescence and materials that behave in surprising ways under ultraviolet light. Children compare how different objects and substances respond to light, make predictions and use observation to uncover patterns that are difficult to see under ordinary conditions. The workshop introduces ideas about visible and ultraviolet light while encouraging children to think about how materials absorb, reflect and emit energy. Hands-on investigation turns a dark-room effect into genuine scientific inquiry, combining physical science, materials and careful observation. Perfect for early learning, primary schools and OSHC groups looking for a visually exciting science workshop with strong investigative learning. Beyond the Beanstalk brings the specialist equipment and workshop resources to your service for approximately 60 minutes of hands-on STEM discovery.
