How to make Fake Snow!

Materials: Sodium Polyacrylate, Water, and a Beaker

Procedure:
  1. Put Polyacrylate into a beaker.
  2. Add water to the beaker.
  3. Watch the snow come alive!
Safety Precautions:
  • Don't eat the snow.
  • Don't let the "snow" touch your eyes or mouth.
Scientific Principles:
  • Conversion of Mass Theory can be used because if you start off with a specific amount of the polyacrylate polymer powder and add water, after the water evaporates, the powder should still weigh the same before water was added to it.
