 * HOW MUCH LIGHT IS PRODUCED WITH DIFFERENT COLORS OF GLOW STICKS IN DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES OF WATER HOW WRAPPED IN TISSUE PAPER **

The purpose of this experiment was to see how much light a glow stick could produce in different temperatures and wrapped in tissue paper. Light is produced by electrons getting excited which produce photons. Tissue paper was wrapped around a glowing purple glow stick and the light was measured coming through the tissue paper. The results were the more times tissue paper wrapped around a glow stick the less light that comes through. This happens because the layers of tissue paper block the light and the more layers there are the more light that is blocked.
 * ABSTRACT **

When measuring glow sticks be sure to measure the light of the glow stick in the same place every single time. The different parts of glow sticks produce different amounts of light giving different results. Some future experiments that can be done on this is, is the glow stick brighter or darker if the tissue paper is different temperatures.
