WATCH THIS! IT IS SO COOL!
This is a science experiment by the famous Steve Spangler. Steve Spangler is a celebrity teacher, science toy designer, speaker, author and an Emmy award-winning television personality. He was the one who conducted the well-known experiment of Mentos and Coke. He started off his career as a highschool science teacher, and later progressed to becoming the founder and CEO of Steve Spangler Science, a Denver-based company specializing in the creation of educational toys and kits and hands-on science training services for teachers, and has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Inc. Magazine, Wired and TIME Magazine where online readers voted Steve Spangler #18 in the Top 100 Most Influential People of the Year for 2006. He has appeared on numerous television talk shows such as Ellen.

This experiment shows the reactions of chemicals, when one is combined with natural resources such as water and sand. This would make an excellent chemistry experiment aside from the obvious corn starch slime. Spangler took simple components with easy access, to conduct an extravagant experiment, which really gets people thinking. Before pouring the sand into the water, Spangler sprayed something called ScotchGuard on it. ScotchGuard is a brand of stain repellent, used on fabric and carpets to prevent stains from spills. The chemical properties react with the sand to create that effect.
