Make Water Disappear Like a Magician!
Amaze your friends while learning about hydrogels.
As seen on the Ellen DeGeneres show, and also known as slush powder, Water Gel turns from a powder to a gel in just seconds. Sodium polyacrylate absorbs from 500-800 times its weight in water and is actually the secret ingredient that’s used to absorb “liquid” in baby diapers! An Activity Guide with lots of fun, hands-on polymer science tricks to play on your friends is also included. Recommended for children ages 4 and up.
How does it work?
When you add water to this superabsorbent polymer, it instantly turns from a liquid to a slushy solid. Each portion is one blue scoop, which measures to about 3 grams. There are about 33 portions in the jar.
What does it teach?
Water Gel is the perfect way to demonstrate how polymers work. The gel is a superabsorbent polymer that can help illustrate how farmers can save their crops in times of drought and what kind of material is in a baby diaper!
Super Absorbent Polymer Powder
Water Gel soaks up to 500 - 800 times its weight in water in seconds! It uses sodium polyacrylate - the secret ingredient used to absorb “liquid” in diapers!
Science Fair Connection
Turn Water Gel into a fun science fair project by simply identifying a variable (something that might change the outcome) in the experiment, then testing that variable, and correctly reporting the results.
Can You Reuse It?
Yes, you can reuse the Water Gel after you are done with your experiments. Just spread the polymer into a thin sheet to let the water evaporate. In about 2 weeks the gel will be back to its original powder form.
