DIY Lava Lamps
These lava lamps make for a retro and SUPER easy science experiment. This is all you need to make them at home:
Fill a jar with water, then add a few drops of food colouring:
Add 1/3 of a cup of vegetable oil to each jar
Then add some salt and watch what happens!
The oil and salt form globules that sink to the bottom of the jar. As the salt dissolves, the oil floats back up to the surface.
This is something we will definitely be trying again!
I just tried this! It was amazing! Something I’m doing with my friends next time they come over. I’m 11 by the way. Lol
