Description
Create a stunning and educational Rainbow Lava Lamp Jar that combines creativity and science with mesmerizing colors and calming motions.
Ingredients
- Clear glass or plastic jar with a lid
- Water
- Vegetable oil (or baby oil)
- Food coloring (multiple colors)
- Alka-Seltzer tablets (or any effervescent tablets)
- Glitter (optional)
- Funnel (optional)
Instructions
- Clean and dry your jar thoroughly. Use a funnel to pour about 1/4 of the jar with water.
- Slowly pour vegetable oil to fill the jar, leaving some space at the top. Observe as the oil rests above the water, creating a distinct layer.
- Use your food coloring to add a few drops to the water layer. Watch as the color disperses and creates beautiful blobs.
- Break an Alka-Seltzer tablet into smaller pieces. Drop one piece into the jar and watch the colorful bubbles rise and fall. Repeat with additional tablet pieces for a continuous effect.
- If desired, add glitter or more food coloring for varied visual effects. Secure the lid when finished, or leave it open for an ongoing display.
Notes
Experiment with different color combinations and scents to personalize your lava lamp. Try adding small decorations for a themed jar.
