Magic Sand begins as normal, free-flowing sand before it is dyed and coated with a hydrophobic polymer that keeps it dry. Ordinary sand cannot form a structure that holds its shape independently. The hydrophobic sand’s water-repellent properties allow it to retain its shape when Magic Sand is poured into water.
Learn about the properties of water molecules and how hydrophobic products work with this science experiment to note the differences in water-repellent properties.
