Carbon Dioxide in solid form creates an extremely cold temperature compound that has an average temperature of negative 109.3 degrees Fahrenheit. This odd chemical compound is more formerly known as dry ice. Dry ice was originally discovered in 1835 by a French chemist named Charles Thilorier. Dry ice is often commonly used in science fair projects of all academic levels, and can be used for your next science project. Dry ice attracts many various individuals to use the substance due to its misty and mysterious nature of how an object as soon as it is taken out of its cold environment starts to haze and fog. Therefore, if you are using dry ice as your main basis of your science project, here are some various dry ice project ideas that you can use:
