Science Buddies: Project Ideas: Crime Scene Chemistry: The Light of Luminol

Experiment with the chemical called luminol, which emits a blue light when it reacts with other chemicals. This science fair project explores whether temperature affects the amount of light emitted. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed by a section on terms, concepts, and questions, bibliography, list of materials and equipment, experimental procedure, suggestions on how to vary the experiment, plus a focus on the sort of careers this experiment might relate to.
