The Steve Spangler Science Baby Diaper Science Fair Kit*
Ever wonder what makes a baby diaper so darn absorbent? With our Baby Diaper Science Fair Kit, you’ll be able to dissect a baby diaper and discover the quicker-picker-upper secret. Amaze your friends with science magic by showing the super-cool ways that polymers are used in everyday items. This all-in-one kit allows the budding scientist to explore the science of polymers and understand this substance’s importance in our everyday lives. This kit comes with science fair tips and everything you need to complete your very own baby diaper-dissection experiment. How cool is that?
It Begins with a Question…
Every adventure into science begins with a question like “I wonder why?” or “How come?” or even “What if?” A small wonder and a little exploration can lead to big discoveries! Great ideas and outstanding questions often arise out of performing hands-on experiments. Each Steve Spangler Science kit helps you to learn how to think like a scientist and use the scientific method to dive into chemistry, physics and biology. Remember, the first step to get that answer is to wonder about the question!
The Science Fair Connection
A good science fair project changes something, creates a new experiment, presents a comparison and then discusses the results. With our Baby Diaper Science Fair Kit, you’ll be able to change the brand of diaper to test and see just how much water each diaper will absorb. Compare your results to the absorbency of the first diaper you tested.
The variable in this experiment is the brand of diaper that is used. Be sure to use the same size of diaper, even though you are using different brands. For example, if you test a large Pampers diaper against a newborn-sized Huggies diaper, your results will not be reliable. Everything needs to stay the same (except for the brand of diaper). You’ll quickly find out if you get what you pay for or if there really isn’t a difference between the brands. Document your discoveries and share them at the science fair. Many moms with young children will thank you for your research!
