Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO2), a molecule consisting of a single carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. Dry ice is colorless, non-flammable, with a sour zesty odor, and can lower the pH of a solution when dissolved in water, forming carbonic acid (H2CO3) Try chemistry at home: https://goo.gl/aXz11j | MEL Science | Facebook

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
