Science Experiment

Today in science class we did the "Marge's Hair" lab.  From the pictures below, I think you can discover the reason it's given this title.  Anyway, in this lab, students mix dish soap and water together and then add dry ice.  The results are amazing, as you can see below.  The whole experiment has to do with sublimation, or changing a solid into a gas while skipping the liquid phase.
 We had some dry ice left over so I brought some home for the boys to experiment with and boy was it fun!  They loved the smoke that came out of the bubbles and it took quite a bit of convincing for them to touch it because they thought it was hot.  Good boys!  Here's the awesome results:
