Dry ice decreases in size, because it is sublimating. This means it is turning from a solid in to a gas. Where as regular ice melts in to a puddle of liquid water, dry ice evaporates in to CO2 gas.

What happens when you put dry ice in water?

When dry ice is put in water, it sublimates, turning from a solid directly into carbon dioxide gas. This creates a bubbling effect as the gas is released, and the water may appear to boil. The combination of dry ice and water can also create a foggy or misty effect due to the rapid cooling of the surrounding air.

What experiment can you do with dry ice?

You can create a "dry ice bubble" by placing dry ice in warm water inside a container with a soap solution on top. The dry ice will produce carbon dioxide gas, which will fill the bubble and cause it to grow and float. Another experiment is to make a "dry ice volcano" by placing dry ice in a mixture of warm water, dish soap, and food coloring to create a bubbling effect.
