Goodlucky365 Scientific UV beads are extremely sensitive to natural light and change color dramatically from white to various colors when exposed to sunlight or even on an overcast day. Containing trace amounts of a photochromic pigment that are sensitive to the ultraviolet component of daylight, the beads have many different uses ranging from scientific testing of (ultraviolet) sun block materials to the creation of 'smart' jewellery. Watch white beads change to colored when taken outside the building! When returned they turn back to white. What causes the change? Humidity? Temperature? Fresh air? Birds flying overhead? The beads contain pigments which react with ultraviolet light from the sun, even on a cloudy day. They also change with most classroom UV light sources. Students can make their own UV light detecting bracelet by stringing the beads on a pipe stem or on a strip of rawhide. Great for teaching UV awareness! Use the beads to test the UV blocking effectiveness of sunblock, sunglasses, windows, etc. Lesson activities are included. Available in five colors, all beads are pale, off-white in the absence of UV light.Available as pack of 1000 beads per bag of assorted colors.
