Sea water disappears in Pampers grains

Pampers nappies are used for babies to absorb their urine. This is possible because the cotton of the nappies contains special small grains.
What you need
1-ml syringe filled with Red Sea water, Liquemin bottle with more sea water to refill the syringe, Pampers grains in a second Liquemin bottle.
Experiment
* Left: Ask an adult to open a Pampers nappy for you above a tray and to transfer the grains into a
   Liquemin bottle.
* Middle: Observe how a syringe is properly filled with the right quantity of water.
* Empty the syringe in drops into the bottle.
* Add as much water as the Pampers grains can soak up.
Observation
* Right: 6 syringes of water have disappeared in the bottle while a jelly pours out of it.
