Explore the Science of Building Polymers by Cross-linking Long Chains of MoleculesAmazing fluorescent colors won’t stain your handsThis is slime like you’ve never seen before. No glue… no Borax… no messy mixing… just amazing! Just mix-up the Activator solution and squirt your favorite String Slime color into the liquid. The instant the two liquids touch, you get solid String Slime.Remove the strings from the bowl and you’re ready to play. Snap the string in half to reveal the gooey center. Just dip the ends into the Activator solution to seal it back up.What does it teach?Explore the science of building polymers by cross-linking long chains of molecules. The process of making String Slime is faster and easier than the classic slime recipe and it happens the very second the two liquids mix. Truly amazing!What age is this activity best suited?This activity is great for all ages. Both String Slime liquid and the Activator powder is safe to use as directed with adult supervision. Use String Slime as an introduction to chemical changes for young children while older children will learn about polymer science through the process of cross-linking long chains of molecules together.You won’t believe your eyes!Best of all, String Slime won’t stain your hands.

Time To Be Amazed! Comes with 4 Goo Colors Yellow, Blue, Pink and Clear Shape Gel™ (3.4 oz.) and Activator Powder! (40 g) Combine the two liquids to create unique polymersAll you have to do is mix colors and design your shape. Then submerge into the Activator, and Voilà! 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.

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 propertiesDiscover the differences between Steve Spangler’s Magic Sand and ordinary sand for a fun science experiment or lesson!Instruction Card Included with 3 ExperimentsWhat Makes Magic Sand Magic?Waterproof FingerUnderwater SandcastlesRecommended for ages 6+.Adult Supervision Required.
