DIY Spectacular Lava Lamp
How Lava Lamp Works? Lava lamps are made of two components - Liquid and Wax. The liquid part is a mixture of water, salt, colouring and other chemicals. The wax — the “lava” — is a mixture of wax and other chemicals. At the bottom of the lava lamp, there is a bulb for heating. When the Wax is at bottom, the bulb heats it up and makes it lighter than the Liquid — causing it to rise. When at top, the Wax cools down and becomes heavier — causing it to sink at the bottom. This Heating and Cooling cycles makes the Lava goes up and down in a continuous cycle. That’s it!

Lava Lamp is a beautiful example of how Art and Science can come together in one little thing!

DIY Dig-up Treasure Geodes
You don’t have to dig under the earth to find your treasure!
Just Dig-up some Geodes What are Geodes? Geodes are round rocks which
are filled with crystals. While most geodes contain clear quartz, others have purple amethyst crystals. Geodes start as a bubble inside a layer of rock, this could be from an animal burrow, tree roots or even an air inside explosive volcanic rock. The crystals are formed over time as the rain pelts over them as tiny clusters or single crystal. They are nothing less than treasures!
Let’s explore the beauty of our wonderful Earth.
