Dry ice
Smoking ice potions
Dry ice: a nice souvenir from our trip to the planet Mars. Kids will learn all about this mysterious, icy substance (-78°C) while taking part in several mind-blowing experiments: the Caribou song, the queen dance, geysers of Iceland, erupting volcanoes, jumping cap contests, bubbling witch’s brew, ghoulish pot… A magic show they’ll be sure not to forget!
Objectives at the elementary level
- Distinguish between the states of matter (solid, liquid and gas)
- Compare the states of matter of carbon dioxide with water (H2O).
- Experiment with the sublimation of dry ice.
- Use simple measurement tools (tong, dropper and graduated bottle).
- Formulate hypotheses on the outcome of the mixtures.
