Do You Know?

A weathercock shows the direction in which the air is moving at a particular place. You can also make a wind sock to find the direction of the wind. Can you try it yourself?

When carbon-di-oxide is cooled to -57oC, it directly becomes a solid, without changing to its liquid state. It is called dry ice and is a good refrigerating agent. Dry ice is used in trucks or freight cars for refrigerating perishable items such as meat and fish while transporting them.
