Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lava Lite 2125-4002 14.5-Inch Silver Lava Lamp, Yellow Wax/Purple LiquidCustomer Review: An Updated Classic. Summary: 5 Stars
I teach college-level Geology courses and I'm always seeking ways to illustrate certain geological principles while amusing the students at the same time. Well, I can't think of anything much better than a lava lamp. I first spotted this fairly large lava lamp at Target and I just had to have it. The cost was over twice that listed here, but it was worth it for my purposes. I use it when I talk about the igneous rocks (rocks formed from a melt). I talk about the origin of melts and how and why they rise up within the earth and can erupt at the surface as volcanoes. While I'm talking I have the Lava Lamp functioning on the front table and I make occasional remarks and jokes about it. I always have the students' rapt attention. It's a classic design and, I know, was used for other purposes in the 60s (I joke about that too), but I find it a good attention getter in my beginning geology courses.
The lamp may take up the better part of a hour to heat up, so I give it a preliminary heating and get it functioning in my office. Then when I start it up in the classroom it doesn't take very long to begin performing. This is quite a quality lamp, I might add, much better than many of those in the 60s.
