To shatter Science Putty, you just need to hit it hard. Most of us will need to use something like a hammer to achieve enough force.
The science is simple, shock waves from the initial hit apply enough opposite acceleration to cause parts of the putty to tear themselves away from each other, just like when you pull snap the putty by pulling it fast.
Tip: Make sure your putty is inside a large container with a hard floor (so little energy is absorbed by the floor!), like a steel bucket. When you hit the putty, the shattered pieces will fly off everywhere if you don't.
