RSC Global Experiment 2015 - second investigation

Greetings fellow Scientists!

Today we were trying to find out How quickly can hydrogels absorb water? For this experiment, we used the following equipment:

Firstly, we gathered a capful of hydrogel from the pampers nappies and transferred it into a plastic bottle:

 

 Then, we added water and measured the time taken to absorb it. We recorded our results and, after careful analysis, will post them on the RSC website.
