Will different oils in a lava lamp effect the way it works?
Yes, they will.
What is the density of blobs in a bottle?
Blobs in a bottle is a fun and cool way to learn about densiy and water and oil and how they dont mix,Blobs in a bottle is similar to a lava lamp.
Why do the blobs of wax rise and fall in a lava lamp?
Convection currents. The hot wax is less dense so it rises. When it reaches the top it begins to cool, becoming less dense and it sinks.
What can you do to make a graph for an lava lamp?
how to make a graph for a lava lamp
How long can you keep a lava lamp on for?
It is not recommended to keep the lava lamp on for longer than 10 hours at a time.
What is a hypothisis for lava lamp?
if i dont close the bottle cap o the lava lamp it would produce more blobs than if i close it.
How do you make blobs in a bottle?
"Blobs In A Bottle" is the name of a simple science experiment that creates a lava lamp effect inside of a soda bottle. The instructions for the experiment can be found at: www.sciencebob.com. Click on "Experiments"
What is a lava lamp circulating lava inside itself?
The "lava" in a lava lamp is just melted colored wax. Convection currents cause blobs of the wax to rise and fall in the clear mineral oil mixture.
Why is heat needed to make a lava lamp work?
Because it relies on the characteristic of warm stuff rising to the surface to get the blobs to move.
What word describes the verb of lava-lamps?
The word to describe the verb of lava lamps is "bubbling" as the movement of the lava inside the lamp creates a bubbling effect.
Will different oils in a lava lamp effect the way it works?
Yes, they will.
What did the first lava lamp look like?
The first lava lamp, created by inventor Edward Craven-Walker in the 1960s, had a distinctive design. It consisted of a glass container shaped like a colorful, teardrop-shaped lampshade filled with a mixture of colored wax and a translucent liquid, typically water. A light bulb at the base of the lamp heated the mixture, causing the wax to rise and fall in mesmerizing, lava-like blobs.

What does the liquid inside of a lava lamp consist of?
It is usually wax that melts as the lamp is turned on. When it is heated, it then begins to float around with the convection current created by the heat-generating lamp, thus creating the "lava" effect.
What is inside a lava lamp?
Inside a lava lamp there is wax.
What are the properties of the two substances involved that the lava lamp relies on?
Density differences at different temperatures (thermal expansion) of the more opaque colored blobs. Similar densities in the mid temperature range.
Why do the blobs of wax rise and fall in a lava lamp?
Convection currents. The hot wax is less dense so it rises. When it reaches the top it begins to cool, becoming less dense and it sinks.
