Rationale

In order to further understand the density, air pressure, and polarity three laboratory
experiments was conducted by the group of students. Specifically, the cloud in a bottle, lava
lamp, and rainbow sugar water density tower. Furthermore, all three experiments were conducted
to examine and understand not just the listed topics but also to comprehend the usual phenomena
like the formation of clouds.
Basically, the very first step in every laboratory experiments was to gather the materials
needed. However, the difference was seen in the way it was performed, their major objective,
and some objects used. Moreover, the very first activity performed by the group was the easiest
which is the lava lamp that only required oil, some Berocca, a bottle, and one food coloring. In
this experiment, the group noticed that the oil showed an immiscible characteristic when joined
with water hence resulting in the creation of an invisible dividing line. When the Berroca was
added in the components inside the bottle it immediately reacted with water mixed with a blue
food coloring. Hence, resulting in a reaction that can be compared to a lava lamp where a colored
bubble rises up and then went down.
Secondly, the next activity performed was the cloud in the bottle which only required a
plastic bottle, a rubbing alcohol, and a bicycle pump. In this activity, the group struggled for a bit
because enough air pressure is needed to completely create a look-alike cloud. Furthermore, the
group also made sure that no air escaped for if it will the experiment will not result in the
expected one. Finally, the cloud was made when enough air pressure was put inside the bottle
and thus resulting to the alcohol to evaporate immediately when a little pressure escaped.
Lastly, the rainbow sugar water density tower was conducted with the help of materials
such as a bottle, food coloring (ROYGBIV), sugar, and water. In this laboratory experiment, the
group first made solutions with different concentration scaling from highest to lightest. Once the
preparation of the solution was done, the food coloring was mixed with the seven solutions
made, hence, one food coloring with one solution. Henceforth, the solution with the highest
density was put first inside the bottle and at the very top is the solution with the lightest density.
Thus, this resulted in a rainbow density tower. In conclusion, each laboratory experiment
conducted showed how a density will affect a solution (Rainbow Sugar Water Density Tower),
how air pressure react with alcohol (Cloud in a bottle), and the reaction of different polarity (lava
lamp).
