Comprehension
Read the following passage. Then answer the questions that follow.

Did you know that you and your family can make your very own lava
lamp? You will have lots of fun and learn a bit of science while doing it!

You will need: 5
- a clear jar with a lid 10
- some water
- a few drops of food colouring
- glitter
- vegetable oil
- salt
- a flashlight

First, fill the jar three-quarters full of water. Add drops of food coloring until
you like the color you see. A few drops go a long way! Sprinkle in glitter for extra
sparkle.

Next, fill the jar almost to the top with the oil and let the mixture separate. 15
Then, pour salt into the jar until you see the cool lava lamp effect – 20
“bubbles” dance in water! When the bubbles stop, add more salt to see it again.
Last of all, shine a flashlight behind the jar to watch your lava lamp really
glow! Switch off the lights for a better effect!
The secret behind the “lava” is science. Oil is lighter, or less dense, than
water, so it rises to the surface. Salt is heavier, or more dense, than water, and
sinks to the bottom. When you add the salt, blobs of oil attach to the grains and
sink. Then the salt dissolves, and the oil returns to the top.

The result?A liquid show for the eyes!
