Chemistry: Experimenting with Polymers

Wednesday, February 2, 2011



Pumpkin is experimenting with Polymers this week using this kit that we purchased at our state homeschool convention last May. The first experiment was a "magic trick" so we took a little video so Daddy wouldn't miss out on the fun.

This is what the Polymer looked like when we took it out of the cook and shaped it into a ball.

Later, we dissected a diaper (luckily we have quite a few of those around the house) so that Pumpkin could see that disposable diapers use the same type of Polymer that we used in this experiment.
