| Description | This is written as a display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on activity. Learners discover how all the parts of a diaper work together to keep babies dry and comfortable. They can find multiple layers of material, and the inner core contains small super-absorbent crystals. These polyacrylate crystals can hold up to 60 times their mass in urine, and up to 200 times their mass in water. |
