This is a cool experiment for my fourth grader but she also needs to understand why the liquid glows.
get a yellow highlighter, and a cup of water, empty the ink from the highlighter into the water, shake it around a bit, now under a fluorescent or black light the water will glow!
AnswerSimple, you grab a bowl fill it half way with water crack open a highlighter (prefer yellow) squeeze the ink out of the highlighter into the bowl of water and turn on your black light and you have glow in the dark water.(:
It depends on the highlighter and how you are putting the highlighter felt in the tonic water.
There are three chemicals used to make this one called the omnihil another glomji and the last hingti. They make glow if there is a source of light.
without using any radioactive materials , you can use tonic water in a jello recipe that will make it glow under black light that all i know :/
use a blue light instead of black light
you cut the highlighter in half and take out the felt tip and you put it in a small amount of water. After you put the felt tip in a small ,amount of water you put it under a black light and the water should glow. The best color to use is a yellow highlighter.
It glow from three cemecals glue, highlighter, and the borax. Put the main thing is the black light.

The answer is a Black light and Tonic Water. Tonic water contains a chemical called quinine which makes it glow bright blue when the water is exposed to black light.You take a bowl and put water or Tonic water just in case you want to drink it.Then you put highlighter ink in the water then stir the ink in the water. It looks kinda weird, but then you put the black light over it and it GLOWS.

Leave it in for an hour. Squeezing it will definitely help. It won't really be glow in the dark unless it's a glow in the dark highlighter, but it will fluoresce under a blacklight
Put radium in it. Just kidding please don't put radium in it, as it's radioactive and causes cancer. I would suggest putting glow-sticks or anything glow-in-the-dark in it that's safe to put in water. I've also heard of squeezing hi-lighter ink into the water
well i just watched something about it but you can watch video its kinda hard explain so here is the link http://video.about.com/chemistry/How-to-Make-Glowing-Water.htm
