Materials:
Plastic bottle....water bottle.
Veg. Oil
Water
Food coloring
Alka Seltzer
How to:
Pour Oil in first we used about 2 cups, then pour water we used about 1 cup.....you want more oil than water. Then food coloring, maybe 3-4 drops.....Jake went alittle color happy. Then cut or brake Alka Seltzer in to 4-5 pieces and drop in and watch the lava rise. Jake thought this was too cool.

Does the color continuously flow? Like a regular lava lamp?
ReplyDeleteYes!! It is really neat.
Deletewhat is alka seltzer??
DeleteI'm a pre-k teacher at a learning center for preschool children, and I am looking forward to trying this! I love doing science related activities with my children, and this looks like it will be a blast!
ReplyDeleteDo you put all the Alka Seltzer in one bottle, all the pieces of one tablet just broken up?
ReplyDeleteYes, Lisa the whole Alka Seltzer broken up. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteSo Cool! I am trying this next week with my pre-k class!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! They will love it.
DeleteThis is great! I will definitely do it with my class! I have a question, can we use more than one color?
ReplyDeleteSure I don;t know why you couldn't mix colors. My little ones love doing this fun science. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI am always looking for new and cool things to do with my 2yr old since I am a stay at home mom and this looks like so much fun..I was wondering what would happen if you added glow in the dark paint or something like that to kinda make it a night lamp...just a thought..
