Instant Snow
Materials
Instructions
Pull out the bag that says, Instant Snow. Place everything in front of you, and put the bag back in your box.
Take the large blue sheet and spread it out in front of you. Then, place one of the smaller plastic cups in the middle.
Grab the jar of powder that has the orange label. Take one big heaping scoop of this powder and add it to the cup.
Dump the water into the cup that has the powder in it. Do this as fast as you can without spilling.
Spread some out on the blue mat and play with it. Students don’t need gloves, it’s perfectly safe!
This time, grab the container that has a blue label on the edge and add two heaping scoops of powder to a small empty cup.
As quickly as you can, pour the water into the cup of powder. Watch for a few seconds to see the reaction.
To clean up the snow, grab ahold of each corner and pull them together in the center to prevent spilling all the loose snow.
How It Works
This next effect happened becuase we used the same material, but with a twist. You see this material is also a super absorbent polymer. Sodium Polyacrylate to be exact. But the pieces are larger so they soak up the water to become larger and a bit more fluffy. By coincidence, it looks a lot like snow, which is why we call it fake snow. It can be used in movies and even as decorations.
