7 DIY Lava Lamp Projects & Science of Lava Lamps

Did you know that it's possible make lava lamps with things you have at home? They're easy to make, and there are different homemade lava lamps you can create - glittery, glow-in-the-dark, or even ones that change color! All of them use oil and water, along with salt, or a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide bubbles. So get ready to have lots of fun with these DIY lava lamps!

What's the science behind the homemade lava lamp?

How does the DIY lava lamp work? Let's look into the scientific concepts behind the lava lamp effect in these mesmerizing experiments!

Water and vegetable oil

Some lava lamps use baby oil instead of cooking oil, as clear baby oil doesn't have the yellow tinge of cooking oil. But all kinds of oils will work as the density needs to be lower than water.

The food coloring dissolves into water and not into oil because food coloring is polar. The colored water helps us see the water droplets moving in the oil.

When bubbles are created in the water layer by an Alka-seltzer tablet or the baking soda and vinegar reaction, the bubbles surround water droplets. The total density of water droplets surrounded by gas is lower than the density of oil, so it moves upwards through the oil. At the top of the oil, the carbon dioxide gas escapes. When the gas escapes, the water droplet that was part of the bubble will then have a higher total density than oil, causing the water droplet to sink.

When more bubbles are made from breaking the whole tablet of Alka-seltzer into smaller pieces or adding more baking soda and vinegar, there will be more movement of the lava.

The mesmerizing lava lamp effect is created as the cycle of colored water droplets move up to the surface of the oil and then sink down to the bottom of the oil layer.

When salt is added to the the layered oil and water, it will sink from the layer of oil all the way to the bottom of the layer of water because salt has a higher density than oil and water.

Oil has a lower density than water, but when salt passes through the oil, it gets coated by the oil, and together they have a higher total density than water. As a result, the salt and oil sink together in the water. When the salt dissolves into the water, the oil droplet now has a lower total density than water, causing it to rise swiftly back into the oil layer.

By adding salt rapidly to the oil and water, more oil becomes trapped in the water layer, intensifying the lava lamp effect. Moreover, to keep the lava lamp going, simply continue adding more salt once the initial reaction stops.

Now you know all the amazing science behind lava lamps!
