This is how I make a lava lamp: Add food coloring to a glass of water Add some oil to the glass Then pour a bunch of salt in the glass. It looks SO COOL the salt and oil make it so the little bubble things sink to the bottom then float back up over and over again. And you can reuse it over and over again by pouring in more salt.
Some science: The "lava lamp" (and the milk one to some extent) is all about polar and non-polar molecules. Water is polar so it is good at breaking apart other things that are polar. Things that are nonpolar dissolve other nonpolar things. Grease, fats, and oils are all nonpolar, which is why they don't mix with water. Dish soap has parts that are polar (so it can mix with water) and parts that are non-polar (so that it can clean the grease off). As for why the lava lamp didn't work out well, the other channel must have been using tablets that fizz on their own. The reason the carbonated water worked to some extent is because there is some carbonic acid in it. The carbonic acid reacted with the anti-acid (i.e. basic) tablet and produced CO2. You basically did the lemon experiment under a layer of oil. My theory is that only small amounts of carbonic acid were able to come into contact with/react with the tablet at a time so it produced a lot of small bubbles instead of bigger ones. True lava lamps work via heat, but employ the same principle of polar and nonpolar molecules.
We would love to see more videos like this from you! You're a ray of sunshine to watch!🌞 This was alot of QUICK, EASY AND SIMPLE fun! Thank you🤗 I know the first one as "Ooblek". SO MUCH FUN!🤗 The milk and soap is fascinating to watch as well!🤗 Can't wait to try the others with my kids! Thanks again!
This is probably your most hilarious vid, and I love it so much, especially the first hack because you act like such an excited happy cheerful child (in a great way!)
Kevin sets us up for failure in the last video by wanting another flavor tear on the wedding cake, and now he ruins the color in the oobleck. WAY TO GO KEVIN! Just Kidding!
Your laugh is sincerely wonderful, happy, joyful and inspiring!!! Totally worth tuning in for-thank you for all your hard work, these amazing videos, helpful tips, inspiring fun and that JOY you and your beautiful self and amazing laugh brings!!!!
For the lava lamp they put them in water bottles (skinny tops) this helps the bubbles stay in longer and will make it work better than the open glasses you used :)
My sons preschool sent this experiment home three weeks ago and when we sat then to do it I was tripping out the exact same way!!! 😂😍 soooooo easy to lose a whole hour with oobleck!
I am 8 years old and watch your videos with my mom. I really like the video you did the experiments. They will be fun to try since my school is closed right now. -AJ
For the lava lamps it does work with just ordinary tap water you just have to break the tablet into smaller pieces first then drop them in. More surface area means more fizz.
Please keep doing some of these videos or another cake decorating video !!! I loved this...!! And my daughter showed me the cornstarch one a few years ago.. She punches hers in the container and thats pretty neat to see too !! ;)
better lava lamp: in a mason jar: -1/3 cup of baking soda -fill nearly to top with oil -1-1/2 tsp vinegar (colored with food coloring) the colored vinegear will sink to the bottom in small bubbles and as they come into cantact with the soda, the Co2 will create bubbles which float up to come back down.
Try the lemon juice and baking soda the other way around. Make small piles of baking soda, add a FEW drops of food coloring and then slowly squeeze lemon juice into the piles.
The first one the one that with the cornstarch and water I've actually made that and it's actually called Oobleck and I learned that you can just do the cornstarch and the food coloring together and then you add your water you don't add it to the water or it's not going to come out with a really pretty color
I work in a nursery and we use cornstarch and water for messy play all of the time. Thoroughly reccomend you try cornstarch and conditioner!!! It smells amazing
My son makes that newtonian fluid all the time. Quick clean up method is to leave it out overnight as it completely hardens and then you can just pop it in the trash can. I learned that be accident one day and although I hate not cleaning it up right away, I don't have to worry about liquid messes in the trash can.
I love seeing the shit we all did to stay sane during the pandemic. We built a mini golf course in our house using the vents as holes!! It was so fun I can't believe I never thought of experiments they look so fun!
We made this once in my chemistry club (the first) and put in food coloring too. Our teachers said that it would dye our hands blue but we didn't care. After that our hands were super dyed. Well... Two of us had the first meeting for the Christmas play later that day. So our teacher gave us special soap to get it off 😅😂
If I remember correctly, a non-newtonian fluid is a substance that will shift between various states of matter depending on the level of agitation it's exposed to.
I love your videos they are very fun to see especially the experiments using food items are cool I love them very much and I love you guys very much to and keep making them ok I would love to see more of them thanks and goodbye.
Thanks for the tip. Dont rinse thr cornstarch down the drain! Throw it away in the trash or you can save it for another playtime day. Put it in a old jelly jar.
The lemon/soda experiment may be more impressive if you squeeze the juice onto a smaller plate or into a cereal bowl. More juice would be "used" by the soda. I know it bubbles like crazy when I’m making tomato soup from scratch. The baking soda is added to the tomatoes in the pan before other ingredients or it will overflow.
Me and my dad followed your vanilla cake recipe and your buttercream icing recipe. We had to use wear flour cause there was no normal flour at the store. The cake didn’t taste amazing but it tasted good and the buttercream was really good
Also another experiment u can do is kind of like the milk one. You pour milk into a plate and then puts some peper on top in the middle. Then get a Q-tip with dishsoap on it and push it in the middle of the peper.
What are you doing to keep busy at home? Hope you're all well and healthy!!!
Ur the best
The Icing Artist eating chips and watching you on the big screen..😂lol😅no joke!
You video saved me from my boredom thank you❤❤❤
Watching ur videos
Try bright side pleaaaaaaseeeeeeee
Icing Artist: Non-Newtonian fluid
Everyone else who was raised right: OOOH, OOBLEK!!
OOBLEK!!!!
You know that’s just the scientific name for it.
And are you saying I wasn’t raised right?!? 😂😂
Jessica Xie once my parents got like 50 tubs of it and me and my siblings played in it for hours
OOBLEKKK!!!
omg totally its OOBLEK
It looks like the “antacid “ they used was alkaline-seltzer. It bubbles in regular water.
Yep, should have used Alka-seltzer tablets!
Omg I think it was called oobolek it was the coolest thing
Ye!
yeah it was!
You knew that class was going to be lit when you saw cornstarch and water in first grade
Ooblek! Its super cool! Its hard with pressure and fluied when its not touched.
Sabrina Zayonce *YEEESSS....*

Your pour NORMAL OIL or BABY OIL?? 🧐🧐🤨🤨😋😋😁😁☺️☺️
Normal oil
Stargirl Rocker just put lava in a lamp
sounds really cool, i’m gonna try it out :)
i tried but it did not work
It’s supposed to be two parts cornstarch and one part water.
Yeah
Yep
I think hers was thiccer than it should be

I’ve always thought it was called oobleck
It is indeed called Oobleck. A non- newtonian fluid.
Yes, it is.
Ohyea a childs dream loll
Me too
Yeah it is
I attempted to make a bath bomb with my friend and it turned into the first thing that you made! *LOL.*
Ooblek
This is probably your most hilarious vid, and I love it so much, especially the first hack because you act like such an excited happy cheerful child (in a great way!)
I love doing the first experiment for color powder fight. Just let it fully dry and crush it. Btw, nice video ❤️
i laughed so hard when you started hitting the non newtonian fluid with a hammer 😂
You're sooooo cute and I love how you're enjoying these experiments!
Actually you can put it down the drain, you just have to distil it with a lot of water first
Yep
And while you’re at it toss some vinegar down the drain with it and clean your pipes! 😉
True 🙂
@@libertymicrofarm6032 yeaa
Or just throw it in the trash
Kevin sets us up for failure in the last video by wanting another flavor tear on the wedding cake, and now he ruins the color in the oobleck. WAY TO GO KEVIN! Just Kidding!
I love it
I'm French and this channel is just super!!! Congratulations, I subscribe !!!! Love
The third one looks like a masterpiece. It’s so cool ,and if it was on paper you could send it to a museum!
Your laugh is sincerely wonderful, happy, joyful and inspiring!!! Totally worth tuning in for-thank you for all your hard work, these amazing videos, helpful tips, inspiring fun and that JOY you and your beautiful self and amazing laugh brings!!!!
I love baking so I am doing lots of baking during this time.
For the lava lamp they put them in water bottles (skinny tops) this helps the bubbles stay in longer and will make it work better than the open glasses you used :)
My sons preschool sent this experiment home three weeks ago and when we sat then to do it I was tripping out the exact same way!!! 😂😍 soooooo easy to lose a whole hour with oobleck!
When you were putting the colour on the lemon I was like... what about yellow.... but then I realized the lemon was yellow😂
The second one was so scientific, and cool. Even if it didn’t look that that much like a lava lamp, it was still so cool!
I love watching your videos in qurrantine
I am 8 years old and watch your videos with my mom. I really like the video you did the experiments. They will be fun to try since my school is closed right now.
-AJ
I'm sure you're tired of hearing it;
That first thing you made was Ooblek, a *type of* non-newtonian fluid, so close but no dice! 😄
7:20 I have done this at school one year as well as the first thing
You're the best. I could watch you videos all day!
Good morning I love waking up to another fun video from you ❤
We tried the cornstarch experiment and it was super interesting! Thanks for keeping me occupied during these strange times, Laurie!
I think you have too darn much fun. You go girl. Be safe everyone mask up and merry Christmas
First one... Goop!!! 2 parts cornstarch to 1 part water if I remember correctly. My favourite sensory play recipe for the kids. So easy to clean!!
For the lava lamps it does work with just ordinary tap water you just have to break the tablet into smaller pieces first then drop them in. More surface area means more fizz.

0:45 Those are the words of a professional cake baker!
Another wonderful video, Laurie. I'm looking forward to my 31st birthday next month.
I downloaded it and am loving it already 💕... by the way I love you work and because of you and your baking am a head chef of my job💕💃🏾😘❤
Try the lemon juice and baking soda the other way around. Make small piles of baking soda, add a FEW drops of food coloring and then slowly squeeze lemon juice into the piles.
Make more videos like this! you are SAVING us :-) especially us with kids at home!
I did the lava lamp thing differently and it worked! 😁 before when she did it, it was to much oil and water
Omg I make oblecc all the time it is so awesome!
The first one the one that with the cornstarch and water I've actually made that and it's actually called Oobleck and I learned that you can just do the cornstarch and the food coloring together and then you add your water you don't add it to the water or it's not going to come out with a really pretty color

I see more then 1 antacid in the bottles. The lemon one is kinda like the volcano where vinegar and baking soda and it bubbles up
Me: *procrastinating because I have nothing to do
TH-cam: ding!
Me: yeeeeesssssss
❤️❤️❤️
The milk one I did that with a kid I baby sat and he had loads of fun with that one and he also make bubbles which made it more cool 😎
Yes please for more, I now have things to do with my kids!
The fourth one is really neat. I don’t think it’s edible though, but it’s totally awesome!
I actually saw the milk dish soap trick on the movie Set It Up on Netflix. Fun movie and fun experiment.
I am so happy because this makes you happy. I think i kinda just like when people are happy 😂😂
I love how much fun you have!! Needed a smile so thank you 😊
I wish I was you guys look at all of those designs there good wish I could do something like that😋❤❤
Hey i saw your channel
If you want to be like them don't be a content farmer.
The experiment with the milk, food coloring and the dish soap was satisfying
Honestly ooblek is the real mvp when it comes to simple home science experiments
We made this once in my chemistry club (the first) and put in food coloring too. Our teachers said that it would dye our hands blue but we didn't care. After that our hands were super dyed. Well...

I was playing with oblec during quarantine today! So much fun!
You have such an endearing personality. I'm glad I happened on your channel!
I would love to see more videos like this! You are so amazing! And you are so postive! :)
These experiments are so cool!
You should make a sour patch kids cake! It would be so cool! Can y’all try to get this where she can see it!!
Can you make an Easter cake that is an egg shape??
My favorite 🤩 one was the liquid and solid thing
Was my favorite 🤩 ❤
I love how excited you get 🥰💜
the mythbusters episode about walking on water with the first cornstarch one always looked sooooo fun to me 😂😂😂
I love your videos they are very fun to see especially the experiments using food items are cool I love them very much and I love you guys very much to and keep making them ok I would love to see more of them thanks and goodbye.
You're experiments are magical. Like and love it
"the squishy hard thing" i died 🤣🤣🤣
I was not subscribed to your channel but after this video I definitely am going to subscribe to your channel
Icing Artist:Non-Newtonian
Me:OOhhhh OBLEK
I love you so much♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ and you deserve a thousand times more likes👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 and records🔔 because you are amazing🤩🤩🤩
Just the sort of distractions I need! Such fun!
Lemons especially meyer lemons will become a deeper darker yellow from the baking soda. It’s a really beautiful yellow.
The starch slime is like a magical home made slime
I loved the first one! You should do this again while we are stuck inside😥😥 I love you❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember making oobleck at school but we didn’t use cornstarch and water 🤷♀️
Thanks for the tip. Dont rinse thr cornstarch down the drain! Throw it away in the trash or you can save it for another playtime day. Put it in a old jelly jar.
You can do the ooblek with powdered custard if you want it to smell better x
I’m a early 90s baby! Love the lava lamps 🤗 please make more videos during the worlds Quarantine ☺️😊☺️😊😁😁
The lemon/soda experiment may be more impressive if you squeeze the juice onto a smaller plate or into a cereal bowl. More juice would be "used" by the soda. I know it bubbles like crazy when I’m making tomato soup from scratch. The baking soda is added to the tomatoes in the pan before other ingredients or it will overflow.
I did the lemon one at a summer camp! It was so fun!
You have to use alka-seltzer tabs in the lava lamp one, it works with regular water, I did it for a project. 😁
I love watching your videos you are the best and my favorite TH-camr
The lava lamp one u can also use fizzy tablets like alka sanza (Or whatever it's called) or fizzy vitamin tablets
Your my favorite and I love what you do
Me and my dad followed your vanilla cake recipe and your buttercream icing recipe. We had to use wear flour cause there was no normal flour at the store. The cake didn’t taste amazing but it tasted good and the buttercream was really good
I love how you you reference lava lamps as being from the 90s!
I’m in Australia, we do this with children aged 3-5 years in early childhood. In childhood language we call it goop, or oobleck.
The recipe for the Non-Newtonian fluid is 2 parts corn starch to one part water.
I love you!!!❤️
"shh shh shh something is happening.... Well it's been about 10 minutes and nothing's happened" 🤣🤣🤦🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣🤷🤣
its impossible not to smile while watching this channel!
You can do it with water but you have to pour water first and oil on top
Also another experiment u can do is kind of like the milk one. You pour milk into a plate and then puts some peper on top in the middle. Then get a Q-tip with dishsoap on it and push it in the middle of the peper.
I have tried the 3rd experiment for homework!
It's also called Oblick
