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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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!

7. 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.
