Introduction

Science and creativity came together in a burst of wonder during my recent lava lamp lab event at Keiki Labs on October 18th and October 21st. The event provided an educational and enchanting experience, highlighting the principles of polarity, density, and chemical reactions through mesmerizing lava lamp creations.

Highlight 1: Oil and Water Beads

Polarity

Our journey into the captivating world of science began with the creation of stunning beads. By mixing oil and water, participants uncovered the magic of polarity, where different substances attract and repel. This first step set the stage for a day filled with scientific discoveries and awe-inspiring moments.

Highlight 2: Magical Colorful Streams

Polarity and Density

In the second part of our adventure, we delved into the intricacies of polarity and density. A “moon window” provided the perfect canvas for observing captivating streams of colorful liquids. By experimenting with water temperature, we controlled the Brownian motion, the lively dance of water molecules, allowing us to see the delicate interplay of density and polarity interactions.

Highlight 3: The Bubbling Lava Lamp

Polarity, Density, and Chemical Reactions

The grand finale of my event was nothing short of spectacular. Our young scientists took the lead as they created their very own lava lamps. With a simple recipe in hand, they crafted a mesmerizing display of bubbles and colorful swirls, showcasing the intricate interplay of polarity, density, and chemical reactions.

Overall

A Successful Event

I’m thrilled to report that the event was a resounding success. The participants’ passion and curiosity, along with their active engagement, made this experience not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. Thank you! I look forward to seeing you all again at future events.
