Fluorescent Olive Oil | The Science Behind the Glow

Fluorescent Olive Oil | The Science Behind the Glow Fluorescent Olive Oil Made for parents and teachers Welcome back to Kids Fun Science! Today, we're doing a cool **science experiment** with olive oil, showing how everyday items can display amazing **fluorescent colors**. This simple **chemistry** demonstration uses a **laser beam** to reveal a surprising effect, making it a perfect **science for kids** activity.

When you think of fluorescence you think of garish paper or clothing. But plenty of fluorescence can be found in nature, You can start in your very own kitchen, with olive oil - make it glow like it's radioactive with this easy experiment. When I shine the green laser in the Olive oil you will notice the color is different inside the Olive oil then the laser. Science behind this. This process called Fluorescents. Olive oil containers a bunch of organic molecules that can absorbed light one color and omit it as different color. The glow seen with in the olive oil is fluorescents. The Chlorophyll in the oil mostly reflects green light, which is why the oil in planets are green. But the laser light is so intense the electrons in the chlorophyll molecule absorb plenty of energy anyway. The absorb light raises the electrons to a higher energy level. Its these electrons that do the work for photosynthesis. In the oil this chain is broken and the electrons from the chlorophyll molecules release the energy as red light. What happens when.. • You use different brands of Olive oil? • You use different colors of laser? • When you turn on a black light you can see the olive oil absorb the UV light.
