Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

This is my science fair project and I need to know how does this project help in modern life, whats the purpose of this project? How does measuring luminescence helps us?

Hi laura1a2jimenez,

It sounds like your project has at least two aspects: measuring luminescence and glow-in-the-dark objects. Perhaps you could think about how glow-in-the-dark objects help us. What types of uses have you seen for glow-in-the-dark things? Many children's toys are glow-in-the-dark. But, glow-in-the-dark lights ("glow sticks") can also provide light in emergency situations, such as power outages. That is one example. Where else have you found glow-in-the-dark things helpful?
