Dry ice experiments

It turns out that what you can do with dry ice is actually quite limited- We did the normal stuff-
Dry Ice and water to make fog:

Dry ice and Sodium hydroxide to carry out a neutralisation reaction:

Dry ice used to inflate rubber gloves/balloons as it sublimes:

We also put it into film canisters to make rockets, and mixed it with washing up liquid to make detergent bubbles with fog in.

I did try and make use of my cloud chamber (The instructions are on here from about 3 years ago) It used to work really well but the gaffa tape has lots it's stickiness= no vapour = no cosmic radiation viewing.
