Description
A fun and educational experiment that creates stunning bubbling orbs using dry ice, showcasing fascinating properties of gases and sublimation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–2 pounds of dry ice
- 1–2 cups of warm water
- 1–2 tablespoons of dish soap
- Clear dish or bowl (preferably plastic or glass)
- Food coloring (optional)
- Protective gloves (for handling dry ice)
- Safety goggles (recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the Workspace: Begin with a safe, well-ventilated area. Wear protective gloves and goggles to avoid contact with dry ice.
- Mix the Solution: In your clear dish or bowl, add warm water and stir in dish soap slowly. If you want to add some color, mix in drops of food coloring.
- Add Dry Ice: Carefully break the dry ice into small chunks. Wearing gloves, drop a few chunks of dry ice into the soapy water mixture.
- Watch the Magic: Observe as bubbles start to form, filling with smoke. Watch the bubbles float, pop, and release vapor!
Notes
Always use protective gloves when handling dry ice to prevent frostbite. Ensure good ventilation when conducting the experiment.
