dry ice alone will do the trick, I use a little warm water to accelerate the reaction. The explosion is caused by the expansion of gasses in a confined space dry ice is compressed carbon dioxide (I used a water bottle) A WORD OF CAUTION THE MORE WARM WATER THE FASTER THE REACTION) in warmer weather the accelerator will not be needed.
So how do you blow up a pumpkin with dry ice? We homeschool our kids and this looks a cool science project in the making. Are you using thermite and ice or some other kind of concoction?
