Lave Lamp

Warm water was placed in a clear glass vase first. Then we added oil. The food coloring was added next. I didn't get a picture before we started, so this was the second batch of food coloring added. After you put in the food coloring, you sprinkle salt on top. As the salt sinks to the bottom it pulls the food coloring drops down with it. Causing them to mix with the water. It was a really neat effect. There is about 3 inches of water, 1/3 cup of oil, then food coloring as desired.
