FOR AGES 3 YEARS TO 18 YEARS
At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
We all see products made of gypsum in our day-to-day life such as cement, and plaster used in making sculptures.
Gypsum is used in portland cement in order to prevent any early hardening that could be a big problem in construction. In the United States, finely ground gypsum goes by the name land plaster.
Gypsum has been in use since 7000 BC and some ancient building remains in Israel have gypsum as a component in their floors. Selenite gypsum is a form of gypsum that has been used for a long time and is still used in blackboard chalk, fertilizers, and some paints. The chemical name of gypsum is calcium sulfate dihydrate and it is used in cement so that the plaster does not settle too quickly and gives it enough time to be given the desired shape. Permanent damage occurs at 176 F (80 C).

Gypsum has been in use for thousands of years and is still used widely. In this paragraph, we will be discussing the most common uses of gypsum in our day-to-day life.
