Liquid Property Comparison
Create a side‑by‑side test of water versus lava in a safe area. Note differences in flow speed, temperature effects and interaction with other liquids to inform future puzzle approaches.
- Observe how liquids react before combining them.
- Use slower‑moving fluids to test outcomes safely.
