8th grade students learned the states of matter and phase changes this week in science. Ms. Manley brought in dry ice -- frozen carbon dioxide -- so that students could observe sublimation in action! Sublimation is the process where matter in its solid form transfers directly into a gas. When you combine warm water and dry ice in the container, the dry ice quickly sublimates and turns into gas. With a little help from dish soap, we made dry ice bubbles!
