Steve Spangler's Water Gel, 100g Jar, Sodium Polyacrylate, Make Water Disappear!;

As seen on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and also known as slush powder, this powder instantly turns a liquid into a solid. 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! Includes a science activity guide with lots of fun polymer tricks to play on your friends! Recommended for children ages 4 and up. What’s Included? Water Gel Jar Includes, 100 gram jar of Water Gel powder, Activity guide, Measuring scoop Water Gel (1 Pound) Bag, 454 grams (1 Pound) of Water Gel powder, Activity guide, Measuring scoop. How Does It Work? When you add water to this superabsorbent polymer, it instantly turns from a liquid to a slushy solid. What Does It Teach? Water Gel is a superabsorbent polymer that’s used as a super-effective way to hold liquid in baby diapers. Superabsorbent polymers in their crystalline form are used to help farmers retain water in their soil in times of drought. Science Fair Connection: While playing a prank on your friend is fun, this activity isn’t a science fair project, yet. You can make it one simply by identifying a variable (something that might change the outcome) in the experiment, then testing that variable, and correctly reporting the results. Frequently Asked Questions: How many portions will this make? Each portion is one blue scoop, which measures to about 3 grams. There are about 33 portions in the jar. Can I reuse it? Yes, after you are done with your experiments, spread the polymer into a thin sheet to let the water evaporate. In about 2 weeks the powder will be back to its original powder form. Is it like Insta-Snow? The polymers are very similar, but the molecules are linked slightly differently, which is why they react differently with water.
