Dry Ice Fog, Bubbles and Balloons
Three demonstrations of sublimation, the change from a solid straight to a gas. Dry ice goes into plain water to make fog, into soapy water to make carbon dioxide bubbles, and into a balloon, which inflates. Includes safety guidance, because dry ice is -78.5 C and has to be handled with gloves or tongs.

Lego Zipline Engineering
Teams build a Lego carrier that runs down a zip line, then compare designs to see what matters most: the size of the carrier, its weight, or the shape of the part that touches the line. It needs only Lego pieces and cord.

Public Lecture by Nobel Laureate: Looking for Fossils of the Big Bang
By Faizan
In this next edition of LIVE@Frost Science on Wednesday, October 26, physicist and Nobel Laureate Dr. Eric A. Cornell will present Looking for Fossils of the Big Bang in the Laboratory. Dr. Cornell shared in the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics for synthesizing the first Bose-Einstein condensate. In his presentation, Dr. Cornell will concentrate on the work being done in the laboratory and how we can use precise measurements to look for fossils of the Big Bang.
