Water Beads

Water Beads

4 total reviews

    These tiny beads are made of a super absorbent polymer that can soak up a surprising amount of water. Plus, since they are almost entirely water when fully absorbed, they have the same refraction index as water and become invisible.  

    Put in your potted plant’s soil to avoid over-watering. Create your own diapers. Fill a vase and put something in the middle to create interesting illusions. Or just enjoy the squishiness.

    This 25mL tube goes a long way. And they can be dried out and reused. These beads are clear so you can use food coloring to create any color you want. 

    These 3mm dry beads expand to about 40mm (1.5") in diameter.

    For scientific demonstration. Do not eat. Keep out of reach of small children or pets.

    WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

    You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

    We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

    With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

    Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
