Lava in a cup

We had a great week of science camp. We did all the usual experiments, but I found a few new fun ideas as well! I have listed some of them below...enjoy!

This is a new twist to the lava experiment. We used the small cups you see above and filled them 1/2 of the way full of water and 1/4 of the way with water. They added a few drops of food coloring and crushed some Alka-Selzer into 4-6 pieces. They dropped one piece in at a time and watched what happens.

* Another fun twist you can find at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/bubbling-lava-lamp. It involves using a flashlight for the old school lava lamp effect!
