Lava Lamp




I think its happening because the eno makes bubbles when the food coloring mixes with the bubbles it makes blue blobs of stuff and it floats around the oil


When I read up on why this happened I thought I was quite close - The ingredients in Alka-Seltzer combine with water to form a gas called carbon dioxide. The oil and Alka-Seltzer do not combine in this way though. The Alka-Seltzer tablets sink through the vegetable oil until they reach the layer of colored water. There the Alka-Seltzer dissolves in the water and forms a gas called carbon dioxide. The gas is lighter than the water and oil, so it bubbles up, taking a bit of colored water with it as it moves through the oil layer. You should have seen those bubbles, looking like colorful blobs, float through the oil layer to the top of the jar. At the top the bubbles should have burst (releasing the carbon dioxide gas), and then the colorful blobs should have sunk back to the bottom (now without carbon dioxide gas). The effect should have been reminiscent of a lava lamp.

my holiday

hi my name is Callum I haven't done a blog post in ages so this feels a bit weird. so about my holidays well we went swimming for awhile it was cool when they got the inflatables out like the twisty one and the crocodile one it was awesome. Total a big fat 10/10, and guess what its my dad's birthday tomorrow.  This is the swimming pool that reminds me of the place that we found. It was so cool. It had lots of hut things. We even found one that had a platform on it. We like it a lot. We even found a sword a wooden one but kayla likes it more. shes our dog and she likes pats.
