Lava Lamp
In this workshop you will make a lava lamp. Along the way, we will learn about how lava lamps work, including some chemistry and physics behind surface tension and liquid density. You will also learn about different kinds of light bulbs, which is more interesting than it sounds (I promise!) At the end of the workshop you will have a personalized lava lamp to bring home.
Material List
Safety First!
There are a few safety considerations for this workshop.
The wax needs to be melted, which means it will be hot. It is melted on a hot plate, which will also get hot.
The lightbulb will also get hot when it is turned on for a long time.
The lightbulb can break, which is sharp. Be careful!
If a lightbulb breaks, ask an adult to sweep up the pieces in a dustpan and then have them wipe the area with a damp cloth to pick up the smaller pieces that the dustpan misses.
The workshop uses a chemical called ethylene glycol, which is toxic if ingested. Don’t put it near your mouth, and don’t eat during the workshop. Wash your hands after leaving the spray booth.
Ethylene glycol is also not great to breathe for long periods of time. As long as you work with it in the spray booth it should be fine, but pay attention to your body and take breaks as you need them.

How Lava Lamps Work
This step explains how the wax in lava lamps moves the way it does.
Easy to Navigate
To make documentation easy to navigate, add a table of content on the top left of the page. Table of content allow users to have a clear idea what will be covered in the documentation and when. The also allows users to jump to the desired part of the page quickly. Setting text to a specific heading type will define what each section is about and how the table of content is structured. Toggles can be add to allow users to see

Clear
To make documentation clear it is important to communicate the goals of the documentation, what past knowledge is assumed and communicate content as a vivid story.

Story Telling
Accessible
To make documentation accessible keep in mind all possible audiences. This should include audience with accessibility needs as well as taking into consideration what platform they are using to read your documentation (such at desktop or cellphone).
