Показать описание
In this video, students from Ball State University explain how diapers absorb so much water. They run a quick experiment and discover that the white powder inside the diaper is responsible. With a little help from an extra-smart baby, they ultimately discover that the secret is sodium polyacrylate, a water-absorbing polymer.

nerds watch science videos, so no need to make them funny. Just tell the facts with a pen and paper diagram. Nerd rules. I'm a nerd and I'm 31 and successful, though I was an unpopular kid in my teenage years. Nerd's revenge.
