Ever wondered how babies nappies are able to soak up large amounts of liquid without leaking? Discover the engineering genius behind super absorbent nappies with this sodium polyacrylate powder, often referred to as diaper powder!
This fun and interactive kit will introduce students, children and adults to the concepts of absorbency, polymer, gel and osmosis. Why not perform the "Magic Super Water Slurper" trick (detailed in the instructional booklet), which has been used by magicians and clowns for years and is only made possible with the super water absorber (SWA) powder, which can absorb 500 times its weight of water! Kids will be amazed as they observe water magically transform into gel, but don't reveal this secret to your audience!
Age: 8+ with adult supervision.
