LAVA LAMP

Materials:

​

• A clean plastic bottle, try to use one with smooth sides

• water

• Vegetable Oil (or you could use Mineral or Baby Oil instead)

• Fizzing tablets (such as Alka Seltzer)

• Food Coloring

• Fill the bottle up about 1/4th (1 quarter) with water.

• Pour the vegetable oil in the bottle until is almost full. You may want to use a measuring cup with a spout or a funnel. You may have to wait a couple of minutes for the oil and water to separate.

• Add a few drops of your favorite food coloring. Watch as the color sinks through the oil. Did your drops of color mix with the water immediately or float in between for a few minutes?

• Break your fizzy tablet in half and drop part of it into the bottle. Get ready … here come the bubbly blobs!

• You can even get a flashlight, turn off the lights and drop in another half tablet. This time shine the flashlight through the lava lamp while the blobs are bubbling!    STORM IN A GLASS
