🚀 Your Mission Briefing

In this lesson, discover how liquids with different densities behave when combined. By making a lava lamp, you'll see how oil and water don’t mix because of their different densities. You'll also learn how bubbles from a chemical reaction can make the colored water rise through the oil, creating a cool "lava" effect!
