Ever wondered how Lava Lamps are made? Curious to know how the liquid and bubbles inside move around in such mysterious and mesmerizing ways?

Wonder no more! In this video, we explain how Lava Lamps are created with this fun DIY STEM Project.

Watch as Jessie breaks down the process using oil, water, and a couple of other items. The magic happens when the Alka-Seltzer drops!
