Lava Lamp Science Investigatory Project Submitted by: Keanu Kent B. Gargar IV – St. Ezekiel 10/7/13 Introduction A lava lamp (or Astro lamp) is a decorative novelty item, invented by British accountant Edward Craven-Walker in 1963. The lamp contains blobs of colored wax inside a glass vessel filled with clear liquid; the wax rises and falls as its density changes due to heating from an incandescent light bulb underneath the vessel. The appearance of the wax is suggestive

lava lamp a toy? It is a household item? It is science in action.  But what is the science of a lava lamp?  This study will determine how a lava lamp creates the look of floating blobs suspended in a liquid substance.  Through at-home trial it will be determined how factors such as density, viscosity and weight effect a successful lava lamp.   History of the Lava Lamp   The lava lamp was invented in Britain in nineteen sixty three by Edward Craven Walker.  The lava in the original lava lamp was made

Compact Flourescent Lamp and the Environment Abstract Technological advances have come a long way since the incandescent light bulb. Today, the compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is the most energy efficient light bulb on the market. In the beginning, consumers had resistance toward the CFL. With governmental support in establishing energy-efficient lighting programs, the CFL have been able to stay in the market and improve throughout the years. Introduction With the advances in technology

The artist of the piece chosen, The Mosque Lamp, is undefined. This particular artwork was created in Egypt and the date of its origin is recorded as C.1320. Creating this piece included the use of blown glass, enamel, gold, and silver stain. Using these particular materials the creator produced a lamp that looks like an inverted bell. Most onlookers would see this piece and come to the conclusion that the artist created a vase with an hour glass shape. Other shapes on the piece are the protruding

Kendrick Lamar’s “Pride” excellently contributes to the world building in “The Lamp at Noon” while delving into character motivations as well as the intricate symbolism present within the story. The opening line “Love’s gonna get you killed” paints a grim picture of the state of Ellen’s marriage. Metaphorically speaking, her choice to ignore the flaws present within the relationship has “killed” her with the ending of the story depicting a mentally disturbed Ellen after she has run away. The baby

and the first activity on the list was lava lamps. It was just the old colored water, oil solution with an alka-seltzer creating magnificent bubbles. Of course, we knew how it worked, but the little ones thought it was magic. After the science behind the homemade lava lamps was explained, their eyes lit up with excitement and looked eager to learn more. Before moving on to the next experiment, I announced that the kids could take home the lava lamps they had made. Initial looks of confusion appeared

I looked out the car window. Whatever might happen may it be moving to Texas. I used to live in California, but now we are moving to Texas to see if anything exciting would happen. We moved 16 times already, and I’m getting angry. We moved as old as I am. When I was born, we moved to Alabama. Then, when I was 2 we moved to Ohio. Then, when I was 3 we moved to Illinois. When I was 4, we moved to Michigan. When I was 5, we moved to Kentucky. When I was 6, we moved to Indiana. When I was 7, we moved

It certainly is a wonder Valentine can just drop a couple folders on my desk and walk right away trusting I’d make sense of it and get all of the numbers ‘crunched’ as he calls it. So many new things each day and so many strange words to associate. I guess no matter where you go there will always be local words to learn and know. Never knew I talked so funny till I waltzed in here. And there’s another strange one; waltz. The city folk sure have a fancy way of speaking. Sometimes I miss the simple
