Here are four easy steps to build your own blue and green lava lamps.
1.Gather Materials:
A glass-like container that is clear, such as a vase or jam jar.
This procedure requires water, vegetable oil and food coloring such as green and blue color as well as Alka Seltzer or other Effervescent tablets, and possibly glitter.
2.Fill Your Container:
In a glass jar put vegetable oil in until it is about three-quarters full. Then leave a space at the top.
Include a few drops of blue and green food color into a second container.
Slowly pour the colored water into a glass container filled with oil. It will begin to mix with oil as it settles to the bottom of the glass container.
Add Effervescent Tablets
To add Alka-Seltzer tablets that are effervescent break them into smaller fragments and drop them into oil. Watch as they fall into the water until they reach the bottom.
4.Step Back and Enjoy the Show:
If you wish to expand the display, you can add Alka-Seltzer Tablets. This will maintain your speed of reaction.
To achieve your desired result, play around with various combinations of food colors and adjust the amount of Alka-Seltzer tablet in line with the desired effect.
Avoid inhaling the fumes or accidentally consuming Alka-Seltzer Tablets.
Also ensure the container is sturdy so it doesn’t easily tip over – and then enjoy creating your personal green and blue lava lamp!
