Plasma Reactor

Hey rocket scientists! Want to make a cool, bubbling lamp and learn some chemistry in the process?

With this Plasma Reactor kit, you can build a fun, oozing, fizzing lamp inside a cool rocket-ship shaped container.

Using oil, water and carbon dioxide gas from fizzing tablets, a chemical reaction will occur that causes fizzing bubbles.

Place the LED light under your rocket to illuminate the fascinating liquid motion lamp effect from the underside.

There are 3 cool experiments for you to conduct as you learn about chemical reactions, solutions and mixtures!

Tip: You can even mix the various fizzing tablet colours to create whatever colour your like!

Your kit contains:

• A rocket base stand, rocket base feet and rocket beaker (measuring cup)
• A rocket nose (funnel), LED light and 5 coloured fizzing tablets
• Pipette, small measuring cups, a stirring rod and a 16 page full-colour instruction manual

You may also need:

• A small Phillips head screwdriver and 1 AA battery
• Inexpensive cooking oil, aluminium foil and scissors (for conducting the first two experiments).
• Effervescent tablets such as fizzing vitamin or antacid tablets (please note: this is to conduct additional experiments if and when the included fizzing tablets run out).
• Sugar, a jar of red cabbage juice (made by boiling fresh cabbage) and food colouring (note: these are required for the colour-changing light effect experiment only).
• Paprika powder, paper towel, sugar, dishwashing liquid and water for creating Alien Plasma Strings for subsequent experimentation.

Recommended for ages 8 and up, for use under adult supervision.
