What happens when dry ice is added to a shallow amount of water? In this experiment, children can test this out for themselves. Using water and dry ice, watch the reactions of the different elements. Does the ice move? What does the water look like? Maybe get the children to describe what they can see. Is it foggy or smoky? To further extend this experiment, the children can also make a bottle cap float like a boat! ⭕ Materials: - Pan or tray - Water - Food colouring - Dry Ice ⭕ Instructions: (1

This simple and fascinating dry ice experiment uses only a few items but creates a magnificent reaction. Watch how the ice turns into a gas and produces a smoky or steamy effect. It may remind children of an erupting volcano or even a steam train. Even though it produces a wonderful gassy reaction, it is not hot like you may think it would be. Perfect for the children to get involved in! ⭕ Materials: - Water bottle (with a sports cap) - Dry ice - Gloves - A cup of water - Food colouring - Funnel
