Super Absorbent Crystals

QUESTION: Crystals are thought of as souvenirs but can they really absorb water too?

Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that the crystals will absorb the water and turn into a soft solid .

Our Experiment

          Materials: 

• crystals(from a diaper)
• water
• cups
• bowl
• scoop
• salt/sugar

---

Safety Procedures

1: DO NOT EAT OBJECTS.

2: AFTER EXPERIMENT DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE  UNTILL YOUR HANDS ARE WASHED.

Procedure:

• Detail steps so anyone can reproduce this at school or home
  Use a numbered list
  
  
  1.fill your scoop with some crystals.
  
  2.pour the crystals into a clean plastic cup.
  
  3.fill another cup with 1/2 cup of water room temp.
  
  4. then pour all of the water into the cup containing the crystals .

The crystals are super absorbent so they will
actually absorb all that water .It will soak it .

You know you want to feel it,You can.

Conclusions

we conclude that our hypothesis is correct.
