The hypothesis is that adding gas to water will change its density, causing it to float or sink in oil.

You will fill a bottle with oil and add water and food coloring. Then, drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet and observe the mesmerizing dance of colorful blobs.

You will need Alka-Seltzer or a similar effervescent tablet, vegetable oil, water, a tall clear plastic container, food coloring.

When the Alka-Seltzer tablet bubbles, the water and gas mixture floats up through the oil in a ball-shape, creating colorful blobs. As the gas bubbles pop at the top, the water sinks back down through the oil, completing the cycle. This project demonstrates the concept of density and how gas affects the buoyancy of objects.

This science project is fascinating because it combines density and properties of liquid and gases in a visually captivating way. The dancing blobs of color in the homemade lava lamp make learning about science fun and exciting.

Vary the amount of Alka-Seltzer tablet to observe the effect on the movement of blobs. Try using different types of liquids, such as carbonated water or vinegar, instead of plain water, and compare the results.
