  In a not obligatory series of lessons for high school students in the
Netherlands we discuss the fluorescence aspects of anthracene. These lessons
were developed because HiSPARC (High school Project on Astrophysics Research
with Cosmics) detection of cosmic rays are available for different secondary
schools. With the help of special designed scintillator detection stations,
containing anthracene, cosmic rays can be detected. Fluorescence of anthracene
is one of the topics discussed in these series of extra curricular lessons
aimed at excellent pupils working on cosmic radiation within the HiSPARC -
project.
