Curious Fun 23 Oct 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
I've only been in possession of this ball for a day or two, but it's so much fun. I find myself playing with it even when I'm idly watching TV! The physical properties of the putty is quite astounding - at times it acts like a sort of liquid and takes on the shape of whatever it's placed on top of or forms a 'pool of putty' when left to its own devices in the metal tin. And at other times if you try to punch it or put some kinetic force on it, it acts as a solid.

I love watching it just slowly but surely change shape, and it's really fun when I squeeze it in my hands and let my body heat 'melt' it to kind of stick to my hands. And the putty is incredibly bouncy, the smaller the ball, the more bouncy it is! Overall I'd recommend this, as an inquisitive little wonder or even as a stress reliever.

This stuff is great fun. Unlike a material such as playdoh or similar such substances, this science putty is infinitely more interesting.

It exhibits the properties of both a solid and a liquid.
Left on its own on a flat surface, it will flatten down and form a circular 'puddle'.

If you hold it in your hand and very gently squeeze it, it will slowly flow between your fingers - very theraputic!

If you roll it into a ball and throw it at a surface, it displays enormous bounce properties!
You can hit it with a hammer and bits shatter and break off it. - You can also try snapping it in two, and it does indeed sheer off like a solid.
Put it on top of an object and it will slowly 'consume' it, coalescing around the object and enveloping it. All good fun!

Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
I got this for Christmas and i'm having executive fun with my executive black science putty. I keep it on my desk at work and it's great as something to mess around with when stuck on a problem, or on the phone with someone unhelpful. It's much more interesting than a normal stress reliever, as you try to break it, stretch it, bounce it shatter it twist it into smart shapes and then watch it melt into a shiny, slick black pool in its tin. Much more interactive fun than... most other things. The only similar item in terms of enjoyment and stress reduction was a magnetic pile of shapes that could be sculpted and arranged in an enjoyable manner. That was probably more artistically enjoyable but less scientifically engaging.

Anyway, to sum up, if you are quite inquisitive, inclined to mess about, fiddle around while on the phone or need something to redirect your mind for a bit, this stuff is great. If you don't like making shapes and sculptures out of blu-tack, maybe this isn't for you...
