**How to Make a Lava Lamp**
Overview:

For my chemistry ISU experiment, I was initially planning on creating a lava lamp using wax, perchlorate and other materials although that soon became difficult because I was unable to find perchlorate. So, I was unfortunately forced to take my experiment in a different direction. Instead I researched how to make a “homemade” lava lamp with alka-seltzers and learned there was more to discover than I had already known.
