Impossible Putty by Science Museum from £2.99
This pack links to the Materials area of Launchpad demonstrating the strange properties of a ‘liquid’ that flows and bounces. Contents include: 1 bag of pink putty.
This highly advanced material feels like chewing gum, but suddenly goes hard if bounced or hit with something. It is used in smart clothing. Patches of putty (in a special foam) around your elbows and knees allow normal movement but become a protective shell if you have a sudden knock. If left alone, a ball of this putty acts like thick treacle and slumps into a pancake shape. A piece stuck on a smooth surface like a door will flow like a big drip - but very slowly. You can even use it as a timer! It also changes colour from pink to white when warmed in the hand.
