Space Sand

- Just like sand from Mars!
- Explore the hydrophobic properties of Space Sand!


This truly is the closest thing to soil from Mars that most of us will ever experience! The soil on Mars is very similar to Space Sand in terms of properties and color. This unbelievable sand will not get wet and can be formed into shapes under water.

Remove the space sand from the water with a teaspoon and it instantly turns to completely dry sand! Space Sand is ordinary sand that has been exposed to the vapors of a silican compound called trimethylhyroxysilane. This process changes the composition of the surface of the sand and makes it unbondable with water-hydrophobic (fear of water)!

Conduct your own fun and educational experiments! Included with your very own Space Sand are many ideas and experiments you can try at home. A great product for the "unbeliever" and the "show me" person!

Space Sand is Great!
Reviewed By: Helen (Falls Church, Virginia)
I purchased many items from your catalog and to my suprise one of the least expensive items was the biggest hit. Not only were the kids crazy about the space sand, the adults were also fascinated as they lifted the sand out of the water and it appeared completely dry. It also makes great shapes in the wate.

Better than building blocks
Reviewed By: anonymous (Kansas City, Kansas)
When my dad got me this stuff, I was simply amazed. When submerged, it is wonderful for crafting shapes of just about any design. I highly reccomend it for anyone who likes to build things.
