Dry ice sublimates, meaning it changes from a solid to a gas without the liquid phase. Trapping the dry ice between two spoons creates a squealing sound due to the gas pushing against the spoons as it expands. The faster the spoons vibrate the higher the pitch. Variables to test More on variables here Try plastic vs. metal spoons. Is there a different pitch? Try small vs. large pieces of dry ice Learn more! Teaching about states of matter?
