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 Does the pitch change with the size of spoons? What if you use forks instead? Try plastic spoons, do they work? Learn more!
