It is just for decoration
It depends on the size of the lava lamp
it depends on which lava lamp u get
The lamp will explode.
how hot can a lamp get? how hot can a lamp get?
why does the lava sink or rise?

The dependent variable in a homemade lava lamp experiment could be the amount of time it takes for the oil and water to separate, the number of bubbles formed, or the height of the "lava lamp" effect.
The problem statement of a homemade lava lamp project could be: How can we create a visually appealing and interactive lava lamp using simple household materials and a safe chemical reaction to mimic the rising and falling motion of blobs in a traditional lava lamp?
The objective of a homemade lava lamp is to create a fun and visually appealing decorative item that mimics the mesmerizing movement of lava inside a lamp. It is a simple and entertaining DIY project that can be enjoyed as a science experiment or as a unique decor piece.
Variables in a homemade lava lamp can include the type of oil and water used, the amount of food coloring added, and the size and shape of the container used. A constant in a homemade lava lamp could be the type of Alka-Seltzer tablet used to create the reaction that forms the bubbles.
To make a homemade lava lamp, you will need a clear bottle or container, water, vegetable oil, effervescent tablets (like Alka-Seltzer), food coloring, and a flashlight or small lamp. The variables you can experiment with include the ratio of water to oil, the amount of food coloring, the size of the container, and the rate of effervescent tablet dissolution to observe different lava lamp effects.
The independent variable of a homemade lava lamp experiment could be the type or amount of oil used, the type or amount of water used, or the type or amount of effervescent tablets used. This variable is manipulated by the experimenter to observe its effect on the outcome of the lava lamp's behavior.
It may take 30-60 minutes for the homemade lava lamp to heat up and start bubbling. This can vary depending on the temperature of the room and the specific ingredients used in the lamp.

The hypothesis for making a homemade lava lamp could be that the combination of oil, water, and effervescent tablets (such as Alka-Seltzer) will create a visual effect resembling a lava lamp due to the reaction between the ingredients causing bubbles to rise and fall in the mixture.
No, you should not use corn oil for a homemade lava lamp. Corn oil is not ideal for creating the lava lamp effect due to its density and chemical composition. It's better to use mineral oil or vegetable oil for better results.
The hypothesis of a homemade lava lamp experiment could be that oil and water do not mix because of their different densities, and that adding an effervescent tablet will create bubbles that carry the colored water through the oil, resembling a lava lamp effect.
