Quick! Sand!

Quick sand is made of primarily sand obviously, water, salt, and clay. There are large gaps in the sand filled with water and when it is disturbed it starts to sink. it is turned from a jelly feeling to a liquid essentially. As soon as the mixture is disturbed the sand sinks to the bottom and he water floats to the salt. The salt as soon as the clay becomes a liquid the salt becomes electrified and they bond together and they form bigger particles that surround the body part. They best way to get out of quick sand is to make small circles with the trapped body part to mix the water and clay once again and then you can essentially get out. This relates to chemistry because it talks about bonding and how you can break and regain the bond. i never knew that you could get out of quick sand.
