    Geared toward preschoolers and kindergarteners, kids of all ages will feel like magicians as they poke pencils through the bag with no water leaking out. This Leak-Proof Bag experiment introduces children to the cool chemistry behind polymers—long chains of molecules that are flexible—the reason there are no spills! 1. Show your child the ...

  12. Leak Proof Bag Science Experiment for Kids

    Leak Proof Bag Science Experiment. To begin, fill a gallon size storage bag about half full with water. Then poke a pencil straight through the bag - in one side and out the other. Much to everyone's surprise, the bag won't leak! This is because the bag is made of a polymer - which is long, flexible chains of molecules.

  13. Why Doesn't the Water Leak?

    Zipper top plastic baggies (like the one used in our experiment), plastic grocery bags, plastic water, and soda bottles, and plastic food packaging are all made of polymers. Products made of polymers are flexible, lightweight, leak-proof, and low in cost to produce. Think of polymers as long chains of beads.

    Fill the zip close plastic baggie about three quarters of the way full with water. Optional - Add a little food coloring and glitter for fun. Push any air out of the baggie. Seal the baggie securely. Hold the baggie firmly out in front of yourself. Use your other hand to push a pencil through the baggie so it pokes out the other side.

  19. How to Make a Leak-Proof Bag

    This is quite a bit messier than the leak-proof bag, but just as easy. Mix equal parts white school glue and warm water in a bowl. Add a few drops of food coloring (optional). In a separate bowl, mix a teaspoon of Borax and half a cup of warm water. Add this solution, little by little, into your glue mixture until you end up with a slimy polymer.
