Science Club Photos
In the Mad Scientist Club, 3rd graders experimented with dry ice. Below you see me using a shoestring soaked in a dish soap solution and then dragged over the surface of a plastic container that contained dry ice. As the dry ice sublimated, it created the smoke as you see. Then the shoe string created a bubble as you see in the 2nd picture.
The students loved seeing the bubble form as it was filled with gas.
We also placed small chunks of dry ice in a cup of apple juice to create a bubbling drink to enjoy.
In this picture, we attached a rubber tube to a funnel that was then placed over a 2 liter bottle that contained dry ice. The other end of the tubing had a plastic cup with the rubber hose sticking through it. We dipped the plastic cup into the dish soap solution and watched as dry ice bubbles formed into our hands.

Ice Cube Insulator Challenge
Students were given the challenge to construct a chamber that would hold an ice cube and keep it from melting and then leaking out of the chamber (plastic egg). Students were given an egg and a choice of materials (tin foil, napkin, plastic wrap, and notebook paper). They had 10 minutes to insulate the egg before the ice cube was placed inside.
Here are the students working on the project:
