Investigation of the Chemical Magic Experimental Methods in Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence for the Demonstration at Many Schools by the Visiting Students from Aichi University of Education
The visiting university students from Aichi University of Education have exhibited the scientific experimental demonstration at various schools and scientific exhibitions since 1997. For the visiting exhibition of the chemical demonstration, "Chemical Magic", the experimental methods in bioluminescence and chemiluminescence were investigated. Five luminescent systems, "Chemilumine-scence of Luminol", "Vargula Bioluminescence", "Firefly Bioluminescence", "Bioluminescence of Photoprotein Aequorin", and "Chemiluminescence of Active Oxalates" were selected and their demonstration methods fit for the visiting exhibition were investigated. Several practice of the developed demonstration methods have been performed. The experimental demonstration of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence is not only very attractive, impressive and effective educationally for the primary school students, but also useful to be known widely about bioluminescence and chemiluminescence to the public audience who visited the scientific exhibition.
