BUBBLING BLOBS – Lava Lamp Science fun for everyone BUBBLING BLOBS – Lava Lamp Science fun for everyone! I am going to present my experiment. I hope you like it. Play attention and have fun!!! By: taj cobb

Items Needed for Bubbling Blobs – Lava Lamp Clear, clean plastic 16.9 – oz. Vegetable Oil Water Food Coloring Effervescent Tablets

Plan of Action Step 1 Fill the bottle 3/4 full of vegetable oil. Then slowly pour water into the bottle until it’s almost full. Step 2 Wait a few minutes for the oil and water to separate completely. Step 3 Add about 12 drops of food coloring.

Plan of Action – Continued Step 4 Wait for the food coloring to fall through the oil and mix with the water on the bottom. Step 5 Break an effervescent tablet into 3 or 4 pieces, and drop them into the bottle. Step 6 Watch the blobs begin to rise.

What’s Your Hypothesis? My hypothesis is oil and water do not mix so I think the oil will bubble up and float around in the water just like my red lava lamp at home in my bedroom! Extra Experiments: 1. What happens if you put the cap on after dropping the fizzy tablet in? 2. What if you drop a whole tablet in? 3. When it stops bubbling, try sprinkling some salt into your lava lamp. What happens? Hmmmm. Only one way to find out!

Lava Lamp Fun Facts: The Lava Lamp was invented in 1948 by Edward Craven Walker, a Word War II pilot. The largest lava lamp ever made is four feet tall and holds ten gallons of lava formula! The most expensive lava lamp ever sold was $15,000.
