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!

Take it Further!
Try building a snow fort or an igloo by freezing blocks of snow using an ice tray.

• The original fake snow polymer.
• Just add water to make gallons of white fluffy snow in seconds!
• Leave the snow out to dry and reuse it again and again.

Make water disappear like a magician

This superabsorbent polymer powder soaks up 500-800 times its weight in water

Turns from a powder to gel in just seconds

Make Water Disappear Like a Magician!

Amaze your friends while learning about hydrogels.

As seen on the Ellen DeGeneres show, and also known as slush powder, Water Gel turns from a powder to a gel in just seconds. 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! An Activity Guide with lots of fun, hands-on polymer science tricks to play on your friends is also included. Recommended for children ages 6 and up.

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 the perfect way to demonstrate how polymers work. The gel is a superabsorbent polymer that can help illustrate how farmers can save their crops in times of drought and what kind of material is in a baby diaper!

Super Absorbent Polymer Powder

Water Gel soaks up to 500 – 800 times its weight in water in seconds! It uses sodium polyacrylate – the secret ingredient used to absorb “liquid” in diapers!

Science Fair Connection

Turn Water Gel into a fun science fair project by simply identifying a variable (something that might change the outcome) in the experiment, then testing that variable, and correctly reporting the results.

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!

Test items to determine if they are insulators or conductors
Conductor: If a material or a device allows electrons to move through it freely, it’s a good conductor of electricity. Metals, like copper and steel, and some liquids, are good conductors.

What does it teach?
By adding the probes to the ends of Energy Stick®, you have made what electricians call a conductivity tester or a device that determines if something conducts electricity. The Energy Stick is a great toy to explore the science of electricity and circuits. The Energy Stick’s sensing circuit is so sensitive that it can detect even a very small amount of electricity that travels across your skin! It’s completely safe, and it’s a totally cool way to learn about conductors of electricity
Insulator: Some materials, like rubber, wood, or glass, do not allow electrons to move through them easily. These insulators can be used to allow safe handling of or protection for electrical circuits.

Try it with friends! Invite everyone to join in the fun by holding hands and forming a large circle to test their conductivity.

Comes with an activity guide!
Teaches young scientists about open and closed circuits as well as conductors and insulators.

Explore different conductors of electricity! Grab a partner and test different materials to see what conducts electricity. Try a spoon, a bowl of water, or even a slice of pizza. The sensing circuit is so sensitive that it can detect even a very small amount of electricity that travels across skin.
