Luminous Rainbow Science Workshops at Science Zone

Luminous Rainbow Science Workshops at Science Zone logo

Are you looking for a way to light up your child's imagination (literally)? Join us for an afternoon of vibrant discovery at our Luminous Rainbow Science Workshop, where art meets the laboratory!

This isn't your average science demo. We’re taking the classic colors of the rainbow and giving them a high-energy, "glow-in-the-dark" twist. Your little scientists will go beyond the primary colors to explore the fascinating world of optics, chemistry, and luminescence.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the experiments:

  • Glow-in-the-Dark Chromatography: Watch as hidden colors "climb" and separate, revealing neon secrets under UV light.
  • Liquid Neon Layers: We’ll build a glowing rainbow in a jar! Kids will learn about density as they stack fluorescent liquids that won't mix.
  • Prism Play: Discover how white light breaks apart into a spectrum using professional-grade prisms and light-bending tools.

These and much more experiments will make learning science easy and fun! Join us!
