1. + LAVA LAMP EXPERIMENT Question #1: What will happen when
we mix two liquids- water and oil?
LAVA LAMP EXPERIMENT
Materials:
Water
Oil
Bottle
Alka-Seltzer Tablet
Food coloring
Hypothesis #1: (CIRCLE)
When we put water
and oil together in our lava lamp it will….
separate from each other OR
mix together?
Question #2:
What will happen when we add Alka-Seltzer to the lava lamp liquids?
Procedure:
1. Fill a quarter of the bottle
with water
2. Fill the rest of the bottle with
vegetable oil (almost to the top)
3. Add a few drops of food coloring
4. Break up two Alka- Seltzer
tablets in half and put them in
one at a time
**You should wait for the bubbles
to stop before adding more tablets +
Hypothesis #2:
When we put Alka-Seltzer
tablets into the lava lamp
the tablets will…
rise to the top OR
stay on the bottom?

2. Drop Alka-Seltzer tablet
Oil and Water
Drop Alka-Seltzer tablet
1. Water and Oil separate into 2 layers.
2. Water = “water loving” & Oil= “scared of water”.
3. Ingredients in Oil make it not attracted
to water– so they separate.
4. Oil floats on the top because water is
heavier than oil.
Alka-Seltzer tablets dissolve in water.
When it dissolves --forms bubbles
that floated up to the top.

3. Bubbles go to the top bringing some
of the colors with it too.
Then the water drops back to the bottom
and the water & oil become separated
again (into 2 layers).

4. MY LAVA LAMP EXPERIMENT BOOK OUR RESULTS & CONCLUSION
We found that water and oil
_______________have a good
relationship and they separate when
mixed together. AND we found that
Alka-Seltzer tablets go to the
________________ when they are
dropped in the lava lamp.
