Please find below our daily SolBe Family update letter containing helpful resources and exciting projects to explore while we all do our part to stay home during this pandemic. Subscribe here to receive daily updates. May 22, 2020 SolBe Families, Science Friday! I have been wanting to conduct this experiment for weeks! So here we go! Put on your lab coats and goggles and we are off! Project of the Day: Lava Lamp Experiment Materials Clear Container or Bottle 2 parts Vegetable Oil 1 part water Food Coloring The Experiment Watch this video for step-by-step project directions and ways to communicate the science behind this experiment to your kiddos. If you try this at home, share your pictures and videos with us on Instagram @solbe.learning so we can see how your experiment turned out! Step One Add two parts vegetable oil to your clear container Step 2 Mix food coloring with one part water. I am using parts as the ratio depends on the size of your container. Be certain to leave some space at the top, as the antacid will bubble up! Step 3 Pour water/food mixture into the oil and let the mixture seperate. Step 4 Fun part! Add the antacid (you can add it whole or break it up) and watch the MAGIC happen! Most important direction, as always: HAVE FUN! More resources to follow in the coming days. Feedback and more ideas welcome! Above all, be well and stay healthy! The SolBe Team
