JELLY WATER MARBLES

You Won’t Believe Your Eyes!

These Jelly Marbles become invisible when submerged in water but grow almost 7 times their size!

Just add water and discover the magic! Place these tiny, solid spheres in water, and in just a little while you will have your own Jelly Marbles that absorbed over 150 times their weight in water. These superabsorbent water marbles are the newest craze around the Spangler Science offices! What starts out as a 3mm pebble, quickly becomes an approximately 20mm ball of jelly! Similar to our Water Jelly Crystals, these water beads absorb a lot of water, plus they maintain their spherical shape when they are done growing. Not only are these superabsorbent water marbles fun, they teach a valuable lesson about the power of polymers.

Jelly Marbles are an example of amazing hydrogels

Hydrogels are superabsorbent polymers that are saving the environment. Whether you think they look like water marbles, water beads, or clear spheres, you’ll want to get your hands on these squishy, water-filled Jelly Marbles.

What does it teach?

Like all of our fun and fascinating polymer, or hydrogel, products, these tiny spheres, teach a big lesson in color mixing, light refraction, and the importance these thirsty pebbles can play in maintaining a healthy environment. The possibilities for experimentation are endless when you drop these spheres in water.
