Purpose:
The purpose of the project would be to entertain.The project is entertaining because holding a bubble is really fun. Also to examine the bubble closer and longer than before. This shows the dry ice's ability to put thing in a frozen state for a short period of time. It can keep frozen goods colder longer than before.
History:
A French Chemist first discovered dry ice in 1834. The next 60 years a university lab used dry ice to observe, but not use it for any labs or projects. Soon enough in 1837 a doctor named Charles Thierier in the British Army experimented with the dry ice;he wanted ice to last longer in the soda cans but the dry ice sublimated and his plan failed. Dry ice was starting to get used in industries, in 1923 a company in New York named Prest Air Devices made the first carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguisher . They tried making more materials such as tire pumps. , dry ice was sold to customers in 1926, it was used for personal reasons such as making soda pop and a bait trap for bugs, it’s still used today
Process:
Dry ice is the form of solid carbon dioxide. Sublimation is the cause of a dry ice to turn into a gas state without becoming a liquid. Dry ice creates a fog because dry ice is nothing but pure CO2 and need to be at least at a temperature of -109.3°F . Because dry ice is CO2, when its temperature rises it “melts” and turns into a gas substance. When this happens in water, the dry ice causes a sudden drop in temperature creating small bubbles.
Once these bubbles rise they mix with air creating a fog. When the dry ice fog can exit through one opening that’s soapy it creates bubbles! These bubbles are created like normal ones, they just need a gas ( Dry ice sublimated gas) blowing into a soapy film. The soapy film traps the fog and creates a soapy white fog bubble that's the size of a baseball! These foggy bubbles float to the surface causing them to pop. When they pop, they create a fog wave that soon disappears into the air.(source?)
Application: Hopefully in the future scientist will be able to make dry ice bubbles more useful. The dry ice bubble now is just a cold bubble. In the future maybe the bubble will be more advanced and is used for a purpose.The purpose of dry ice is to to things cool. For example it can keep ice cream cooler .If we are able use it's preserving ability to preserve such things as plants, medicine, animals, and maybe humans.
If we can preserve plants we will be able to study them further. For medicine we can save medicine past it's expiration date and we can then use the ingredients we would have used for the medicine; to create something more useful. Than if we can preserve animals than we can save them from extinction and the future generations will be able to see them instead of seeing them in picture books or movies. Humans. Now humans who have sickness with no cure. Will have fight hardships in order to see the next day but if can preserve them until a cure is found. Then they will be able to live the rest of their lives without worrying about their sickness. The dry ice bubble may sound fun but if you think about it, it can open a new world of possibilities.

Glossary: (ABC order; list 10 words used in the history and process paragraphs; reformat so that it doesn't look so copy & pasted)
Bubble: A thin film of liquid inflated with air or gas
Carbon Dioxide: A chemical compound made of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a carbon atom.
Liquid:Flowing freely but of consistent volume
Dry Ice: Solidified carbon dioxide
Gas: One of the four main states of matter, composed of molecules in constant random motion
Soap: A substance used for cleaning and washing made of natural oils or fats and usually
having perfume or coloring added
Sublimation: For a solid to transition a gas state without turning into a liquid
