CO2!

Danielle brought me a box 1/3 full of dry ice today, as it was left over from a shipment they received at the lab. Thus far I’ve placed it in water, put it in soapy water to make a bubble tower, drowned it in apple juice (and drank the juice), and lowered burning magnesium into a sink full of CO2. The magnesium sputters a bit before going out, and the juice tasted nicely acidic with a bit of carbonation. Now to figure out what else to do with it.

It’s being stored in a foam box, in a cardboard box, on the front porch. I imagine there will be plenty left to play with tomorrow after work. Now to think of things to do. Ice cream is an option, although I’m not sure of that one yet…
