Lava lamp

The lava lamp attracts the eye and makes both adults and children gaze at the little miracle in the bottle. You can make a small lava lamp at home, using the most common products. The main ingredients of such a magic lamp are simple and easily replaceable. You can use any substitute you have at home. Unfortunately, this lamp is not a real lava lamp, but is essentially just a simple physical experience. But the beauty of the process and the child’s interest in creating a small miracle with his own hands are not lost at all.

DIY lava lamp


1. We will need:

• Bottle or any other suitable container.
• Sunflower oil. You can use any oil you have at home, even massage oil.
• Water.
• Dye. Regular watercolor paints will do.
• Effervescent aspirin. Any effervescent tablet will work perfectly.
• Watering can.
• Stick.

required


2. Pour water into the bottle. Approximately 1/3.

3. Color the water using dye. I use food paints, but take whatever comes into your head, as long as the water turns into the desired color. Stir well with a stick.

4. Add oil to the lava lamp, but not completely.You need to leave some space for the fizz bubbles.

5. We decided to experiment a little and see what happens if we lightly mix water and oil with a stick.

6. Next is the immediate preparation of the bubbles themselves. Break the effervescent tablet into small pieces.

9. If you close the bottle with a stopper, the colored liquid begins to creep up the walls of the vessel.

10. Imagine that colored water reaches the very top of the bottle. We have a few minutes to watch this fascinating process.

    Why do you need a watering can? In the picture you can see not a watering can, but a funnel; these are two very, very different concepts - two very different things!
