How to Make a Lava Lamp the Easy Way

http://www.sciencebob.com has detailed instructions for making this easy lava lamp. Chances are you have almost everything that you need at home, so try it out and let us know how it goes. We used fizzing antacid tablets that go by the brand name alka-seltzer here in the US. I'm not sure what they may be called in other countries. Have fun!

[Hansel Jovillo Wilys]

Unfortunately no , it doesnt. The seltzer will only "bluub" the water for sometime. When the seltzer is finished , the "bluubing" on the water will eventually stop.
