Luminol Crime Scene Investigation

Detect the presence of "blood" using luminol just like real crime scene investigators! Make fake blood stains and reveal them in the dark using the glow from Luminol's luminescence.

With this kit, young scientists will explore the dazzling reaction behind forensic science as they create the famous blue chemiluminescence of luminol — no blacklights, no tricks, just real chemistry.

Students will mix safe, pre-measured ingredients to trigger a glowing blue reaction in the dark, just like investigators use to detect traces of blood. Instead of real blood, this kit uses safe alternatives, making it perfect for homeschool labs.

What They’ll Learn

• The science of chemiluminescence (light from chemical reactions).

• How energy moves between molecules to produce light.

• Real-world applications in forensics and biology.

• Why luminol glows without heat — unlike fire or bulbs.

Why It’s Awesome

✔ Looks like magic — but it’s real chemistry.
✔ Dramatic, glowing results in a darkened room.
✔ Safe and homeschool-friendly — no blood required!
✔ A perfect introduction to chemical reactions
