Plastics and Polymers Science Fair Projects Using Hair Gel, Soda Bottles, and Slimy Stuff (Chemistry! Best Science Projects)

Why does Silly Putty stick to your refrigerator door? How can the lining of a diaper absorb so much liquid? Why does some plastic foodwrap work better than others? Plastics and polymers are everywhere, and this set of experiments will allow young scientists to explore the various properties of these materials. Most experiments simply require everyday household objects and a curious mind.
