Last week I shared a few easy experiments with you.  Today, let’s have fun making your very own lava lamp with a few simple ingredients!
What You Need:
  • clear bottle(s)
  • water
  • oil
  • food color
  • alka seltzer (or silimar effervescent tablet)
  • funnel
What You Need To Do:
  1. Pour oil into your bottle – fill it about 2/3 of the way.
  2. Pour water into your bottle – less than 1/3 to leave room at the top.
  3. Add food coloring in your color of choice.
  4. Cut 1 Alka Seltzer tablet into 2-4 (or more) smaller pieces.
  5. Add 1 piece of the tablet at a time & observe the reaction.

Note: Once you close the bottle the color drops back down to the bottom, Add some more tablets and you get your faux lava lamp effect again!

I’ll have some more fun, frugal & easy experiments next week…… stay tuned! Until next time….
