About This Product

The collection brings together a range of smart materials that respond to light, temperature, water or force. Colour-change samples sit alongside polymers, a low-melting alloy, composite and fabric sheets and a graphite levitation kit, so several kinds of smart behaviour can be shown from one tray. The UV detecting beads come with a science activity guide.
