An elementary school in Gallatin, Tennessee, has made headlines after 19 students and a teacher were sent to the hospital after a dry ice experiment. According to Nashville's WKRN, the third-grade ...

Dry ice looks a bit like regular ice. While it can be clear, it’s usually white because water vapor freezes into frost on its surface. Dry ice is very cold. It’s −78.5 °C or −109.2 °F, which is cold ...
