Purpose of activity:  To learn about the luminescence of deep sea fish as well as to enjoy doing an art project.

Description:  A pattern is printed onto black paper.  Students use colored pencils or crayons to color fish, then add glow-in-the-dark highlights on the areas that really do glow.

Target age group:  ages 8-12

Time allowance:  15-30 minutes, depending upon how fast the students color.

Materials needed:  Photocopies on black paper, colored pencils or crayons (I always recommend Berol Prismacolor pencils, especially for a project like this where you are coloring light onto black), glow-in-the-dark paint
