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

    The pure substance will be separated by something called their physical means. The physical means are the boiling point and solubility that each substance contains. Substances can vary in boiling point and solubility, which makes it possible for the students to separate each substance to their pure state. By changing the state of matter from solid to liquid and vies versus during the experiment the student will be able to see the physically means of each substance.…

    In this part, the goal was to determine the effect of volume fraction on separation time. In order to determine the effect of volume fraction on settle-time, the density of oil was assumed to be constant with an average value of 900 kg/m3. Volume fraction was varied from a value of 0 to 0.5 and by using the Zigrang-Sylvester relationships provided by the instructor, the coefficients a,b and c were calculated. The settling velocity Uϕ was then determined by using the following relationship;…
