The goal of this article is to provide secondary school science teachers with a background in an array of luminescent phenomena including fluorescence, phosphorescence, and chemiluminescence that will enable them to teach their students fundamental properties of light and matter. Instructions for building and operating a simple spectro–fluorometer and five detailed lesson plans are provided in the Supplemental Material for experiments that utilize these processes.
