A Moment of Science
There are two ingredients inside a lava lamp: a watery liquid, and a waxy compound that collects at the bottom when the lamp is turned off.

Scientists have used computer models to show that planting crops with waxier leaves could help to reflect more sunlight and reduce global warming.
