Lava Lamps

Today our experiment was to make a lava lamp.

We asked ourselves a science experiment:

Will oil, water and an effervescent tablet react and look like a lava lamp?

We had a hypothesis: what we thought would happen:

Yes.  The oil and water will separate and the tablet will make bubbles which will make the oil bounce around the jar.

We got our equipment:

oil, water, a jar, food coloring and an effervescent tablet.

We wrote our procedure and then we waited and watched.

This is what we saw.......











We also realised that scientists don't just carry out experiments but they also write about what they did, what they saw and why they think that happened.  Here we are being scientists.
