The purpose of the experiment was to make a model to discover the basic principal of a lava lamp. I believed that the more Alka Seltzer tablets added, the longer it would take for the tablet to dissolve. To discover this,We had to make the bottle, add a tablet, and record the time it took for the tablet to dissolve. We recorded that the more tablets added, the longer it would take to dissolve.We learned that our model related very well to a real lava lamp because when we have the beaker we put it on top of a flashlight in the dark it is like a homemade lava lamp.
PRELIMINARY RESEARCH REPORT (Change SALT to ALKA SELTZER)
Purpose:Combine to make oneparagraph (why would people be interested in your project? can this improve their lives or is it entertainment?)
The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the effect of salt and oil by creating a "lava lamp" in a cup. The effect of how much salt is added to the oil and water to create bubbling substances in the lava lamp (sent. frag.)). The other purpose is how much salt you put into the lava lamp and how it effects the lava lamp and how much second it comes up by the density (sent frag).
(This part looks pasted; you can use part of it, but remember to cite your source) Lava In A Cup? Sounds fun doesn't it. It actually is, it's such a fun, easy experiment to do with yourself or with friends or family. If you have problems sleeping, all you do put a flashlight under the cup and problem solved! It looks like an actual lave lamp! It glows and it's pretty amazing.
( The paragraph below can work better for the purpose, also cite your source; avoid pasting too much information)
"Lava lamps have been around since 1963, when Englishman Edward Craven-Walker invented the first version of the trippy contraption (Source?) . For those unfamiliar with Lava Lamps, they were the stable decor of apartments in the 60's. The 'lamp' is comprised of a slightly triangular glass jar that is filled with colored liquid and a glob of liquid "lava" that wold magically float,dance, and break apart when the lamp turns on" (Bellis YEAR).
(Too short...What else? Add history of Alka Seltzer?
The oil's density is 0.894g/mL or approximately 0.91g/ml. The density of water is 1000kg/ m 3 or 1gm/ cm 3. The reason why oil floats on top is because the density of oil is not as much as the waters density. (Whats the density of salt?)
what happened was when you poured the salt into the oil, then it presses the oil down and it forms a blob.
APPLICATION (Source?)
Hopefully, people will take time to make their own lava lamp. It will also be fun to spend time with their family making one; it’d also be “bonding” time with one’s friends, or family. It’d also be better then going out and buying one that are so expensive, and probably won’t last; then going out and buying inexpensive materials to make more than one, and would last longer, and probably be better than store bought ones.
LAB REPORT
Hypothesis: Do not use pronouns like "you" or "it"
If the persons add more alka seltzer into the cup, it would make the vegetable oil work like a lava lamp. (must be measurable)
Materials:
Salt (1 or more teaspoons) (ALKA SELTZER RIGHT?)
Tap water
1/4 cup of olive or vegetable oil
Food coloring (red, green, blue, and any other color you like)
Large clear glass (500mL beaker)
(food coloring)
Procedure: (Begin all steps with a commanding verb; Capitalize first word; delete numbers 2) )
2) Pour 1 cup of water in a clear glass cup (use mL)
3) drop 1 tablet of alka seltzer in water
4) Drop 5 drops of any food coloring
5) Carefully and slowly pour about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil
6) Add 1 teaspoon of salt, sugar, baking soda, or another tablet of alka seltzer (update)
7) What what happens to the lava (Add directions on what data needs to be recorded.
Add directions on how to do 5 trials for each independent variable
Variables: Controlled variable: the amount of salt that was poured into the water. (list at least 3) Dependent variable: once the salt got poured in the cup, blobs started forming. (what did you measure?) Independent variable: if you put salt into a cup, the lava will start forming (update)
Acknowledgement: We would like to thank the following: Maria Flores for helping us with supplies. We would thank the internet ( http://www.sciencefairadventure.com/Cup_of_Lava.aspx) that has helped us achieve and recreate this project. It was such a fun and interesting project. Best part , now that we’ve learned on how to make our own lava lamps its such a money saver for us .
Analysis:
Describe the high and lows,etc.
Conclusion:
Yes Our Hypothesis Is Correct Because When We Mixed The Water And The Vegetable Oil The Alka seltzer Made It Look Like Lava.
What happens to the liquid when water is added? What would happen if you add another teaspoon of salt? What if you add SEVERAL teaspoons of salt( give it a try and see?) How d you think if you add MORE than 2 cups of salt will the effect be more bubbly? How will salt be the effect and not the alka seltzer tablet? If you add alka seltzer will it effect the bubbles more than putting different kind of amount of salt?But we had a little error during this process. The error was when we had to use different Alka Seltzer because we wasted all of it.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: What will happen to the lava if we drop less alka seltzer or more alka seltzer? casandra did this ms.hong
REFLECTION Our research was on a cup of lava. We had to look up on different kinds of websites and find the point and the concept of the lab. We found out that oil is lighter than water. The oil floats on top of the cup and is above the water. The websites we looked on is in our works cited which we have on this page. We all mostly were looking atprezi.com/ni7qb8sjy06o/lava-in-a-cup-presentation/ . We were looking at it because it show the different experiments they had in their research. In our lab we had to follow strp by step the procedure. First we assembled our supplies together. We filled up beakers with water that we got Ms.Hong because we would have broken glass in our backpacks from cup we brought from home so Ms.Hong let us use her beakers. We added oil to the water. The oil quickly went to the top because of its density. After that we added food coloring and put as many alka seltzer tablets as we have in the data table. We took picture of the lab. The most alka seltzer tablet the more the bubbles go up and down. If you put less alka seltzer tablets then the bubbles will move slower than more alka seltzer tablets.
