STEPS TO BUILD A CLOUD CHAMBER
Take the felt and cut it into the size of the
bottom of the container and glue it down
at the bottom surface. It is important that
the felt is tightly glued to the bottom to
avoid it from falling down when the tank
is flipped upside down.
Flip the tank or container upside
down such that the felt side is on
the top and the mouth of the
container is at the bottom and on
top of the lid that you used to
cover the dry ice.

Soak the felt in isopropyl alcohol so
that it is completely saturated. But
make sure that there isn’t any excess
liquid. If you poured it in excess,
drain out the extra liquid.
Wait for about 10 minutes to let the
container cool down. You can use a
dish of warm water and place it on top
of the container to heat the alcohol
faster and turn it into vapor.
Take a separate container to place
the dry ice and cover it with the lid.
Make sure you use thick safety
gloves while handling the ice.
Turn off the lights and shine a
flashlight through the side of the
container to see visible particle
tracks within the cloud.
