Parents, just a quick message to let you know this activity will require parental supervision. Also, please only use resources that you may already have at home.
How to make 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 the 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. This 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 email and/or google doc.
Ingredients
- 4 cups apple juice
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 tbs gelatine powder
- In a medium saucepan, place 2 cups (500ml) apple juice and the raspberries. Bring it to the boil. Remove from heat and whisk in gelatine to dissolve. Stir through remaining apple juice.
- Pour juice through a strainer to remove raspberry seeds, then pour strained juice into moulds or a bowl. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight, to set.
