Allow students to learn about polymers and cross-linking using this fun and colorful activity. Students add a solution of sodium alginate to three calcium chloride solutions, each containing a different fluorescent dye.

Upon completion of the activity, the worms may be placed under a black light and the students will observe their worms glow red, blue, and green.
