Lava Lamp Observations

In our second science lesson we were learning about density and polarity. We created an example lava lamp using the ingredients noted below, the main ones was water and oil. We had to discover which one was denser. 

We figured out that the water was denser because it stayed at the bottom of the lava lamp. Adding the aspirin caused the said pill to fizz and dissolve creating carbon dioxide (Co2) bubbles. The bubbles floated between the oil and the water letting off carbon dioxide whenever it got to the surface.

The ingredients we used to create the lava lamp was Oil, Water, Food coloring and aspirin tablets. At the end it look really interesting and almost hypnotic.

I enjoyed doing the experiment in my buddy group after the example by Mrs Bava and the other groups. In my group was Lucas S, Liam J and Me. I am the only girl in my group, not that it really matters.
