Exciting hands-on dry ice experiments and “wow “ factor demos. Explore solids, liquids and gases, evaporating, condensing, melting, sublimation and freezing.

Dry Ice Volcanoes (School Years 0-6) 50 minute workshop.

These volcanoes are amazing. They rumble before erupting to simulate an earthquake, produce a large gas cloud and lava.  Discover plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes and natural disasters.
