Instructional Ideas

  • Create stations for learners to try each activity
  • Use during the month of October or when focusing on the states of matter in science class

Classroom Considerations

  • Younger students would probably be better suited with a teacher demonstration than a hands-on experiment
  • Resource advises buying dry ice as close to the lesson as possible to prevent sublimation

Pros

  • Provides safety and procurement tips for dry ice
  • Experiments are visually appealing and great for enhancing a science lesson on gases

Cons

  • None
