Ocean In A Bottle

What You Will Need:

1 clear plastic 16 oz. soda bottle with a cap
3/4 cup light cooking oil
1/2 Tbs. blue powdered tempera paint
Water
Funnel

What To Do:

Mix oil and blue powdered tempera paint together in a bowl.
Let the mixture set for 10 minutes. This allows any powdered tempera
paint that has not dissolved to settle at the bottom of the bowl.
Using the funnel, slowly pour the oil into the plastic soda bottle. Do
not pour the sediment at the bottom of the bowl into the bottle.
Using the funnel, pour water into the bottle until it is full.
Screw the cap on the bottle tightly. Slowly tilt the Ocean in a Bottle
right to left and watch as the waves crash against the sides of the bottle.
