2. Dry Ice + T-chart= TestControl Amount of Dry Ice (oz.) No Dry Ice Constants Water Level (8 oz.) Bottle Type/Size Hypothesis: More dry ice will make the bomb explode at a quicker rate. ©The Learning Zoo 2011

3. Experiment Results… 1 ½ oz. Dry Ice+ Water + Bottle= 26 second explosion rate 2 ½ oz. Dry Ice+ Water + Bottle= 26 second explosion rate ©The Learning Zoo 2011

4. What should have REALLY happened… FACT: 1lb of dry ice= 8 cubic feet of gas (About enough to fill 125 2 liter bottles!) Therefore… more dry ice= bigger/faster explosion ©The Learning Zoo 2011

7. Let’s Make Some CO2 Bubbles! STEP 1: Mix sugar and water in bucket until sugar is dissolved. STEP 2: Stir in root beer extract. STEP 3: Carefully add dry ice to mixture. STEP 4: Watch the magic happen! STEP 5: Wait until the ice is evaporated completely and then try a taste! WARNING: May cause burns when touched. Do not inhale CO2 fog. ©The Learning Zoo 2011
