Here's how to make your own super bouncy ball with a chemical reaction
and easy-to-get chemicals
All you need for this project is ethanol or more commonly known as alcohol
Waterglass, which can be found at most ceramic supply stores and drug stores
You'll also need a pair of rubber gloves, two beakers and a popsicle stick
Start by measuring 4 teaspoons of waterglass into one beaker, and 1 teaspoon of alcohol into the other
Then pour the alcohol into the beaker with waterglass
and immediately start stirring thoroughly with the popsicle stick
We can then see our solid polymer is starting to form
When it's all solid, gather while wearing rubber gloves and start squeezing it with your hands
Be patient and keep squeezing the material together until you have formed a ball
that doesn't crumble and is dry on the surface
Now you can try playing with the super bouncy ball
Not bad for something made in under 10 minutes
You should store the ball in a plastic bag
and if it breaks or gets distorted just squeeze it back together into a ball shape
