    1) The document discusses how molecules interact with each other through mixing or reactions. It uses the example of oil and water not mixing due to their molecular properties. 2) The lava lamp experiment takes advantage of oil and water not mixing by adding colored water droplets to a bottle of oil, with soluble pain relievers causing the water droplets to move. 3) The conclusion is that the more soluble pain reliever added, the more active the lava lamp will be as the reliever causes the oil to move, demonstrating principles of density and polarity.

    Title

    Lava lamp

    Objective
    1. To learn that all things are made up of molecules
    2. To learn that some molecules interact with each other, but others do not
    3. To learn about two types of molecular interactions: mixing versus reactions

    Introduction
    Although we cannot see them with our eyes, all things are made up of molecules. Different
    molecules make up different items. For example, water is made up of water molecules, and
    oil is made up of oil molecules. Molecules are so small that a single drop of water or oil
    contains millions of billions

    of molecules approximately 10,000,000,000,000,000

    molecules. When two different molecules are combined, they may or may not interact,
    depending on their properties. Molecules like oil and water do not interact with one another .
    When oil and water are combined, the molecules will always separate from each other no
    matter how hard you try to mix them together. Other types of molecules do interact with one
    another. In this lesson plan we will discuss two types of interactions: mixing and reactions.
    Mixing is a type of interaction in which molecules do not readily separate from one another
    when combined. For example, when food coloring is added to water, it mixes with the water
    to turn it a new color. Similarly, when you dissolve sugar in water, the sugar seems to
    disappear this is because the sugar molecules mix (dissolve) with the water molecules. A
    reaction involves the formation of a brand new molecule (the product) from one or more
    starting molecules (the reactants). In todays experiment, the molecules in Alka-Seltzer react
    with water molecules to form a new product: carbon dioxide. As the reaction progresses, the
    Alka-Seltzer tablet

    gets visibly smaller as the Alka-Seltzer molecules react with water

    molecules to form carbon dioxide gas (visible as small bubbles). Once the Alka-Seltzer tablet
    completely disappears, the reaction ends. By taking advantage of the different interactions
    (or lack thereof) of these molecules, we can use them to make a homemade lava lamp!
    Because oil and water do not mix, droplets of water can form inside a container filled with oil.
    Food coloring mixes only with the water droplets, making the water.
    .

    Material
    Oil
    Clear bottle
    Water
    Soluble panadols
    Food colouring
    Procedure

    5.

    Food colouring was added to the clear bottle with quarter filled water,
    Then, almost full of the bottle was added with oil.
    The oil was let to settle down in the bottom of the bottle.
    The soluble panadol which broken into pieces was inserted in the bottle.
    The lid was put on , as the oil might flow out.

    Conclusion
    In conclusion, experiment was successful. We conclude that the more soluble panadol you
    put into the bottle of lava, the more it will be active. The more soluble panadol that is put in
    the bottle, the longer it will act on the oil, causing it to move. The principle of density and
    polarity was proved.
