Product Information

The National Geographic Waterproof Sands Science Kit is an amazing hands-on STEM activity set designed for kids ages 8 and up. Featuring three vibrant colors of special hydrophobic sand that never gets wet, this mini science kit lets children conduct magical underwater experiments while exploring the fascinating world of water-repellent science.
Dive into the mesmerizing world of fluid physics with the National Geographic Waterproof Sands Kit! Perfectly designed for curious young minds aged 8 and older, this exciting STEM set features an incredible substance: hydrophobic sand. Coated with a special water-repellent layer, this sand stays completely dry and sculptable when submerged in water, then magically transforms back into a dry, free-flowing powder the second it is scooped back out. Children can act like real scientists as they use the included pipette to conduct fascinating activities, such as building an 'Underwater Masterpiece' or creating an 'Incredible Water Ball'. The kit includes a clear, easy-to-follow instruction manual and a mini learning guide that details the real-world chemistry behind waterproof materials and surface tension. Safe, non-toxic, and safety-tested, it is a thrilling, screen-free educational activity that brings classroom science right to your kitchen counter.
