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 Ceramic Hand Dish

40,000 Yrs old Hand-Painting! One of the hand-painting found in Indonesia, is the oldest hand stencil known to science, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. It is comparable in age to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest-known rock art image, a red dot from Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s El Castillo site. The artists made hand images by blowing or spraying paint around hands, pressed against rock surfaces. This artist has preserved the shape of his hand for so many years. How about making your own Ceramic Hand Dish to keep your little treasures? Or gift it to mum, dad, grandparents, uncle, aunts or even friends!

These cave artists used pigment called Red Ochre and its mulberry colour is remarkably still vibrant!
