The Jelly Marble Mystery!!! Do you know what Jelly Marbles feel slimy like a made of super absorbent Superabsorbent polymers absorb a lot of water. used in many things such as Marbles are? Well, Jelly booger, and they are polymers. are polymers that can These polymers are diapers, tires, and CDs. Have you ever wondered if Jelly Marbles could grow in other substances? Well, Jelly Marble Crystals can grow in other substances. In class we did all different labs about Jelly Marbles. We had to create questions that we could that we could answer by doing an experiment with the Jelly Marbles. My groups question was, “Have you ever wondered if Jelly marbles could grow in other substances?” We soaked jelly marbles in for about 20min. Then we observed them for 5 days and wrote down our observations. We also weighed them and measured their mass with a triple beam balance. We observed that they don’t grow as big as they would if they were grown in water. Through our research we learned that the Jelly Marbles can also grow in Perfume, soap, milk, and cologne. Superabsorbent polymers have many useful purposes. They help the environment because the superabsorbent polymers are used for erosion control, soil management, and environmental clean-ups. All of these can help the environment. The lab my group did was fun, but it was also educational.
