Lava Lamp Science Project
This Lava Lamp Project is a simple science experiment for kids
Ingredients
2
Empty Water Bottles or Gatorade Bottles
Oil
vegetable or canola
Antacid Tablets
like Alka-Seltzer
Food Coloring
2 colors
Water
Instructions
Fill each empty bottle about ¾ of the way full with oil.
Fill the rest the way with water until about 2 inches from the top.
Put in 4-5 drops of food coloring into each bottle.
Drop an antacid tablet into each bottle and watch all the bubbles start up and float all around like a lava lamp.
After the tablets were all dissolved, and the bubbles calmed down, I added another tablet to the bottles and repeated the lava effect.
