The Wacky World of Superabsorbent Polymers Chemistry Demonstration Kit uses a fun approach to teach students about polymers, osmosis and cross-linking. Use distilled water, an “empty” cup and a beaker in this simple, informative display.
Pour distilled water into an “empty” cup and the water solidifies into a gel. In another beaker add a small amount of powder, pour in distilled water and see an avalanche of fresh powdered “snow.” These remarkable sodium polyacrylate polymers have many water absorbing applications, including indoor artificial snow! Teacher Demonstration Notes included.
