March 5 Fire and Ice

Today in class we took a break from Earth Science and went on an in class field trip. We experimented with dry ice and reviewed the concepts of pressure, density, sublimation, solids, liquids and gases, combustion and other things.

We froze a gummi worm and then shattered it. we froze a super ball and saw how it no longer bounced. We played with carbon dioxide soap bubbles, blew up balloons, launched film cannister rockets and generally had a good time.

As an added bonus--no Homework!
