Bubbling Lava Lamp
A. BUBBLING LAVA LAMP

Learning how to make a wave bottle

B. INTRODUCTION

Lava lamps hold a special place in pop culture history, but there is a lot of science that we can learn from them, too. With the Bubbling Lava Lamp, you'll learn how to make a homemade, kid-safe lava lamp using materials right in your home. With a soda bottle, oil and water, and a secret ingredient that makes the whole thing fizz, bubble, and erupt, you'll have a colorful concoction you will love.

B1. Background of the Study

Parents tell us that water and oil do not mix. Using this theory, I thought of coming up with something that will amaze us like the way the snow globe does. But, in my project, I will make use of bubbling colors instead of snowflakes.

B2. Statement of the problem and objectives

By putting water and oil in one container and shaking to mix with one another, at the end, we will see that oil separates from water. This will prove that water is heavier or more dense than oil. To show the process of separation, I will inject a bubbling effect with the use of color and light.

B3. Significance of the project

From this, we will understand the reason why water and oil don’t combine as one mixture.

Based on the this understanding, we can do tricks to amaze people who see the liquid inside the container as one mixture.

B4. Delimitations/Limitations of the project/study

1. Use ordinary oil, water, fizzy tablet, food coloring, bottle and flashlight

2. Requires dark room to show the bubbling effect.

B5. Review of related literature

A multiphasic liquid is a mixture consisting of more than two immiscible liquid phases. Biphasic mixtures consisting of two immiscible phases are very common and usually consist of an organic solvent and an aqueous phase ("oil and water"). Multiphasic liquids are rare and only triphasic (three phases) and tetraphasic (four phases) are known.
Multiphasic liquids can be used for selective

    Acknowledgements………………………………………… 10 Page 2 The purpose of this experiment is to compare the different densities of different liquids. Density is a comparison between an object's mass and volume. Density = Mass divided by Volume. If the weight (or mass) of something increases but the volume stays the same, the density has to go up. If the mass decreases but the volume stays the same, the density has to go down. This experiment will show how the weight of certain liquids react to each other.…

    The order that the liquids were in was blue, orange, green, yellow, and red. On our first trial, we only put in blue, green, red, and yellow mixtures inside the test tube. Before we even put in the orange solution, the yellow liquid started to mix in with the red solution. It meant that the yellow sugar water was more dense than the red sugar water. On our second trial, we tried to put the green mixture first to see what would happen. When we put the green mixture inside the test tube, we decided to experiment and put in the yellow solution. The second we put the yellow mixture in, it immediately mixed in with the green. This proved to us that the yellow mixture was more dense than the green mixture. Next, we tried to put the blue solution first, the green solution second, the red mixture third, the yellow mixture next, and the orange sugar water on the top. The test tube started turning a dark purple color. The orange was more dense than most liquids. Then, we tried blue, green, red, and orange. The red and the orange mixed and the mixture turned black. On our final trial, we did blue, orange, green, yellow, and red. The sugar waters did not mix in this order. The blue was the most dense. The orange was not as dense as the blue, but was more dense than the green. The green was more dense than the yellow, but was not as dense as the orange. The yellow was not as dense as the green, but was more dense than…
