Hi! Today we are going to made a lava lamp:
1· Rinse a large bottle of soda or water. Any container with a firm seal will do, but you probably have an empty water bottle somewhere in your house. Try to get one with a minimum capacity of 500 milliliters or 16 ounces, so you can clearly see its interior. This method is safe and children can do it alone, it is much quicker and easier than doing a permanent lava lamp. Young children can ask an adult to mix the ingredients.
2·Add oil, water and food coloring to the bottle. Fill ¾ of the bottle with vegetable oil, then fill it with water and about 10 drops of food coloring (or enough so that the solution takes on a dark color).
3·Add a table or a table by Alba-Seltzer in the water. If you are going to use a salt shaker, spray the salt for five seconds. To create a more exciting and bubbly lava sheet, use a Alka-Seltzer tablet, a midwife in pieces and add them. Every "fizzy" tablet will do. In pharmacies, they also usually sell them as vitamin C tablets.
4·Cover the bottle and move it from side to side (optional). This will cause the small droplets of dye water that are inside the oil to combine, which will form larger liquid lava masses. This is how scientists call them. Add more salt or another effervescent tablet when the dough begins to move.
5·Place a flashlight or a strong reflector under the bottle. These will light up the bubbles to get the maximum effect. But do not leave the bottle on a hot surface! The plastic would melt and the oil would scatter everywhere.
6· Learn how it works. Oil and water never combine in a single liquid, instead they form the strange masses you can see passing one after another. The last ingredient makes things agitated. This is the reason:The salt sits on the bottom of the bottle, dragging a mass of oil with it. After the salt dissolves and dissolves in the water, the oil returns to the top. The effervescent tablet reacts with water and forms small bubbles of carbon dioxide. These masses are joined to dye-water and float to the surface. When the bubbles burst, the masses with coloring return to the bottom of the bottle.
