What did you learn about dry ice while creating or viewing the demo?


 
 

I learned that dry ice is frozen C02. I also learned that dry ice can be used to keep objects cool without using regular ice that is messy and leaves water. I also learned that dry ice can be used in a lot of different creative ways, for example what my group did which was make a fountain out of dry ice and dish washing soap.


 
 

I learned that dry Ice is frozen carbon, and that it goes through sublimation which means it goes directly form solid to gas state. I also learned about colloids, and it is a gas suspended in a bubble. And that is how our lab worked, the dry ice created carbon and that carbon got suspended in the soap making a colloid, or bubble!
