Club Zoom is an experience unlike any other. This science club opens up new opportunities and ideas to the members and allows them to do hands-on activities while exploring the world they live in. We have been experiencing the amazing and fun things that dry ice can do when used properly. The children have learned that dry ice is made up of frozen carbon dioxide which means it doesn’t melt like regular ice. When handling the ice, the members used winter gloves to make sure they didn’t burn their hands. During the experiments we dropped dry ice into warm water the smoke we saw was a combination of carbon dioxide and water vapor. The gas we saw was actually a cloud of tiny water droplets. READ MORE
