Steve Spangler Science® Insta-Snow® Powder Starter Set
Item # sssbunPackage







Bundle Item Details
Make Gallons of Fluffy Snow in Seconds
The original fake snow polymer!
Snow is a seasonal phenomenon, but it can’t be relocated inside for study and play, and - in some areas of the country - it won’t appear at all. So, when snow (and fun) is on the mind, let the kids devour hours of fun with one of these Steve Spangler Science Insta-Snow Powder Kits - delivering realistic, fluffy snow that can be dried out to reuse countless times. With just the addition of water, the liquid/insta-snow powder mix turns into a solid within seconds-no mixing required. A true wonder and learning asset for a multitude of settings and playtimes.
Insta-Snow isn't just a cool demonstration, educators have found great use in sensory tables for early childhood and chemistry for advanced sciences!
No matter what quantity of Insta-Snow you choose, you'll get all of the materials you need including mixing instructions and the scientific explanation. You're getting a "WOW" factor with a ton of scientific application. Recommended for children ages 4 and up with adult supervision.
What does it teach?
Explore the ever-changing science of polymers as students experiment with Instant Snow. Each Insta-Snow product comes with an activity guide with suggestions for science fair projects and fun ways to explore the science of polymers. Within seconds, the liquid/powder mixture turns into a solid and then erupts into a fluffy, white snow-like material (no mixing required). Watch in amazement as it instantly expands up to 100 times its original volume.
Why Does Snow Feel Cold to the Touch?
Since the snow is almost entirely made up of water, the water is bound to evaporate. The process of evaporation produces a constant cooling effect. That's why Insta-Snow is so much fun to touch!
Can You Reuse It?
The snow will start to dehydrate after a few days due to evaporation. Just spray the top of the snow with water and fluff the snow with your fingers to give it a fresh, fluffy look. You can also let the snow completely dry out to use it again. The dry form of Insta-Snow powder will last forever!
Instruction Cards Included with 4 Experiments!
From a Warm Liquid to a Very "Cool" Solid
The Handful-of-Magnificent-Snow Show
Dry Up and Drip On
Salt Polymer Destroyer
What's Included?
Insta-Snow® Powder 2.6 oz (75 g)
Plastic Tank

Combine the two liquids to create unique polymers
All you have to do is mix colors and design your shape. Then submerge into the Activator, and Voilá! You created your first polymer shape! Mix and match up to 16 different colors! This is a non-borax and non-glue slime formula that is safe and easy to use! Amazing fluorescent colors won’t stain your hands.
How does it work?
Making Shape Gel is a chemical reaction that makes a new solid substance (the “star”) by combining the two liquids. The scientific name for the gooey Shape Gel liquid is sodium alginate, and it’s full of very l-o-n-g molecules called polymers. The Activator Solution contains calcium which links together one long polymer chain to another long polymer chain in the sodium alginate. The instant these two liquids meet, the crosslinking process begins. This means that the molecules join to create long chains of molecules and form a sort of skin on the outside of the star where first contact is made, and then works its way inward. When the molecules bond, the long chains of molecules form and they appear to tighten or harden. This is what changes the Shape Gel star as it floats out of the mold. The crosslinking process pulls from the outside in, giving more of a “puffy or ball” appearance. As the crosslinking process continues, it causes the star to change as it pulls in the tips towards its midpoint.
Let’s work together to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
At Steve Spangler Science, STEM is not just an acronym or a checklist of required subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math). Our STEM products encourage young scientists to create new and exciting experiences that foster the skills of collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity.
Create Shapes With Chemistry
What other toys or crafty items could you mix with Shape Gel goo to create new and different creations?

Steve Spangler Science® Magic Sand Starter Set
Item # sssbunPackage







Bundle Item Details
Magic sand may look like ordinary sand… but just try to get it wet!
Magic Sand begins as normal looking sand, until it’s dyed and coated with a substance that repels water. This coating keeps the sand dry even after it has been dumped into a container of water. Build castles and other structures under the water, then simply pour the water off when you’re finished and the sand is still dry! You can use it for fun science experiments again and again! Colors vary.
How does it work?
Ordinary sand is free flowing and cannot form a structure that holds its shape. Because of its water-repellent properties, when Magic Sand is poured into water, it holds its shape and can even be molded into structures under water.
What does it teach?
Learn about the properties of water molecules and how hydrophobic products work. Students can experiment with Magic Sand and then ordinary sand and note the differences in water-repellent properties.
The possibilities are endless!
Steve Spangler’s Magic Sand is a hydrophobic polymer; sand that never gets wet! It can be used to build underwater sandcastles! Also, Magic Sand is a reusable science toy! When finished, simply pour the water off and let the sand dry! You can use it for science experiments again and again!
Learn about water molecule properties
Discover the differences between Steve Spangler’s Magic Sand and ordinary sand for a fun science experiment or lesson!
