With a plastic water or soda bottle, put a little water in there and some small pieces of the dry ice. Tighten the cap, put down on the ground, and run! Pretty good explosion! Soda bottles seem to work better, the plastic is thicker allowing more pressure to build before exploding. Have fun!

Putting a dish of it above and behind a backlit subject can give you some cool "fog" effects as it drifts down.

Sorry to sidetrack, but were does one get dry ice?

BeeCee, I get mine from I think it was Praxair, they supply oxygen and other gases and the like for medical and welding. I know some grocery stores in the US carry it but not sure up here...

This may not be photo worthy but make what you want of it. Take a nickle and stand it up on a cube of dry ice and let it melt into it about a 1/4 inch by pressing down on it, then let go. Watch it wiggle away and produce a weird sound at the same time. ;]

We used to drop big chunks of it in toilet bowls at work at the start of lunch.

Try to get it on a corner or something similar, like on the tip of a pyramid.

Im under the impression in the US you can pick it up at smart and final, provided there is one in your area.
