Ultimate Dry Ice Science Kit
Nothing makes Halloween more eerie and fun than creating fog from dry ice. This exciting activity can also be used in the classroom to teach your students some important science concepts. The Ultimate Dry Ice Science Kit from Steve Spangler Science makes Halloween both thrilling and educational.
A Must-Have for Every Halloween Party
Whether you’re whipping up something spooky for Halloween or crafting an unforgettable lesson, this is the kit for you. We recreated the exact dry ice experiment that Steve Spangler himself used during school tours throughout the country. The Ultimate Dry Ice Science Kit is filled with the tools, gadgets, resources and safety equipment you need to have fun and learn all about the properties of dry ice.
What Does It Teach?
This kit illustrates science concepts centered around the transformation of solids, liquids and gases. You’ll create bubbles that fill with smoke and burst into fog to the delight of any audience. Make silverware scream under super cold temperatures, uncover the acidic properties of bubbling carbon dioxide and even make a crystal ball out of a giant bubble. These bubbling, foggy concoctions and hands-on experiments will have your young scientists’ attention for hours with lots of oohs and ahhs. Halloween is the perfect time for boiling, bubbling, eye-catching potions. The clear plastic graduated cylinder makes it possible for kids to hold onto the bubbling dry ice concoction in a completely safe manner, while still enjoying the effects of dry ice as it sublimates in warm water. They’ll also learn how to understand the pH of a color-changing, bubbling liquid.
E.R. –
I loved this kit. It had everything you need (minus the dry ice) and all the stuff is great quality and really works without much practice. The big bubble crystal I thought was going to be hard and it wasn’t. I did it on the first try and probably only missed it once. I was so happy. The dry ice was easy to get locally and it came in little chunks so I did not have to ice pick it….again….awesome! The gloves were miracle workers with the dry ice bubbles. They really allowed the kids and me the ability to hold the bubbles. I took the suggestion of making my own bubble mixture and adding the liquid glycerin and it worked sooooooo good!!!!!!! I was so happy with this purchase…well worth the money.

You can always purchase more Atomic Glow, glow sticks, gloves, safety glasses, Extreme Bubble Solution, and miniature black lights. We do sell those separately on our website. The other materials should be reusable year after year.

I would recommend purchasing a 5 pound block of dry ice. This should be more than enough. Just know that dry ice evaporates very quickly. You will need to make sure you have a cooler handy to store it in until you are ready to use it. Once you purchase the dry ice, you will need to use it within a few hours.
