Intermolecular Polarity

I just learned that word a week ago, and I love saying it. Yet another blessing of Homeschool. we get to learn right next to our babes. Here are two of my lovies, Grace and her Daddy presenting Grace's lava lamp science experiment at co-op. Mrs.Nanfito's phone has a flashlight, so we turned out the lights to get the full effect. Unfortunately, I did not capture the moment very well on camera. Maybe later, Grace will write a guest post describing the science behind water, oil, Alka-Seltzer and food color. Grace you will only have to type the big words-- not say them. Wonderful work, Grace!

  2. Ok, here is what I learned about my lava lamp experiment. Intermolecular polrity means that water molecules like other water molecules so they do not mix with oil. Also water is more dense. I do not know what that means, but water is on the bottom and oil is on top. The alka seltzer bubbles and fizzes to the top and takes the colored water with it. This makes it look like a lava lamp.
