Suddenly Solid

Discover the science behind the fun while you experiment with these fascinating polymers! Demonstrate real world examples of conservation of mass, surface tension, polarity, osmosis, saturation, evaporation and more!,

This super-absorbent polymer does tonnes of amazing things! It can absorb 200 to 300 times its weight in tap water (even more if the water is distilled) and hold it in a gooey gel. This powder is also known as slush powder, and it instantly turns a liquid into a solid. With certain ratios of powder and water, the gel becomes a solid. It will not even fall out of a glass!
Experiment with different ratios of water to Instant Solid Powder to discover why its often called slush powder!,
