Scientist of the Week #6

This little Einstein was our next Scientist of the week. He did a great job on his Groovy Lava Lamp experiment.

He filled a cup with water and added blue food coloring. Then he poured oil into a jar.

Then he poured the blue water into the jar with oil.
We all couldn't wait to see what would happen!
It made bubbles, over-flowed a little, and looked a little like lava.

We all learned that oil and water do not mix, and that it looks pretty cool together, especially with food coloring. The kids didn't really understand what a lava lamp is. They wanted to see real lava. Maybe for our next experiment. . . :)
