Fun With Dry Ice!

Posted in Science Lab

Last Thursday, my husband and son brought home dry ice from my son's doctors appointment. They were so excited to try some experiments with it! So my husband went online and found some experiments to try with dry ice. He has us all gather around and marvel at this strange but cool thing called dry ice! Tons of fun!!!

 

Safety first!!!

 

Awesome hubby starting the experiment of the screaming spoon.

 

Piece of dry ice inside a balloon causes the balloon to expand over time! This is a photo of it half way through the expansion!

 

What a little warm water and dry ice can do in a cool blue vase!

 

Another cool shot of it!

 

 

This is what happens when you add a little bit of dish soap! It was a volcano of bubbles!!!!

An ordinary leaf, some water, some dry ice and some rubbing alcohol (although I think we were supposed to use a different kind of alcohol).

 

The leaf shattered because of it's highly frozen state after sitting in the above concoction for a while!

 

So glad my hubby embraced a spontaneous science experiment moment! We had tons of fun!

That looks like a blast! We'll have to try that here. It's bad enough that I have a bunch of pyro's in my house (hubby and myself included)-- but to add dry ice to the list of obsessions... Fun but dangerous!

Hope you're having a great week, my friend!
