The Lava Lamp – building kit
The Lava Lamp Kit contains all the parts needed to build a functional lava lamp, along with building instructions and ideas for small experiments. It also includes material on the history of the lava lamp and the underlying science of density.
Use of the product
In science/technology, physics or chemistry, the building set can be used to explore density, heat transfer and the movement of fluids. Students can experiment with temperature changes, fluid stratification and convection. The set works well as a hands-on supplementary activity in courses on properties of matter and thermodynamics.
