Meet the Science Teachers

Students recently in chemistry investigated the properties of dry ice and how they relate to different states of matter. Both temperature and pressure determine what state of matter a substance is in. In this lab, we witnessed a rare feat - the triple point - where a substance is experiencing solid, liquid, and gas phases simultaneously! We showed this using dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide. Watch what happens when the pressure continues to build in the system!
