How to make simple refreshing Jelly

Learning Intention:  When jelly is heated and mixed with water the protein fibres come apart so the jelly from the packet or (gelatine melts).  As jelly cools the fibres coil up again trapping water between them which makes jelly.

Success Criteria: being able to follow instructions and understanding the science behind jelly setting and it becoming a solid.

We are learning and playing with simple kitchen science experiments.  Why kitchen science? because everything you need is already in your kitchen cupboards.  There are so many cool experiments to do at home with everyday household items.  The experiment is sure to develop a love for not only being creative in art, but also learning through science.  Have lots of fun kids and please remember to film, share and upload your work to me via Seesaw, email, or google doc.
