What you will need:
- Glass jar;

- vinegar;
- green food coloring;
- soda;
- round LED flashlight.
Lava lamp making process
In a glass jar, pour baking soda into the bottom in a layer of 0.5-1 cm, and pour sunflower oil on top.
The jar should not be topped up 2-3 cm.
Mix vinegar and food coloring in a separate container.
The jar is placed on a round lantern that is turned on, and colored vinegar is poured into it.
Vinegar is heavier than oil, so it will fall to the bottom of the jar, forming globules.
When it touches soda, a chemical reaction occurs, releasing carbon dioxide. As a result, the contents of the jar will bubble beautifully. The experiment looks especially bright in the dark.
