Create A Mirage

Don’t trick the eye nor fool the brain. Come and explore the optical illusions and create your own Mirage. With the help of Physics instructor participants will place any small object or objects in the lower mirror, taking care to center them. Objects that can be used like: a ring, marbles, coins, buttons, flowers …etc. Set the upper mirror on top. Participants will be asked to reach with their hand to the object and share their observation. Come and join our physics team to explain how this works.

Lava Lamp

Oil and water do not mix with each other. Water is made up of highly charged, hydrophilic compounds while oil is made up of long chains of carbon that are hydrophobic. Furthermore, the oil will float on top of the water because it is less dense. The Alka-Seltzer tablet reacts with the water making carbon dioxide gas. These bubbles attach themselves to the colored water and float to the surface. When the bubbles pop, the color sinks back to the bottom of the bottle. In this activity you can find out how to make your own Alka-Seltzer® lava lamp
