Attention Getter – Giant Dry Ice Bubble

1st Angle

2nd Angle

What you need:

• dry ice
• water
• a ceramic or plastic bowl with a very smooth rim
• a strip of felt or chamois
• dish soap or bubble solution

Sometimes you just need to get the kids’ attention.

You may need a good icebreaker to start off a class or you may need to just get the attention of the room back where it belongs. And this is a great experiment to do that with.

You put water in the bottom of the bowl and drop a small amount of dry ice into the water. You did the chamois in the dish soap or bubble solution and slighted across the top of the bowl to make a complete seal.

Once you do this the dry ice will be generating carbon dioxide which will cause the bubble to grow and grow until it pops in a really neat smoky explosion.

If you come up with an alternate idea for this for a spiritual application please send us a comment and let us know.
