Materials Required:
l Flavoured gelatin dessert
l Small dish
l Eyedropper
l Water
l Fork
Procedure:
- Pour a box of flavoured gelatin into a small dish. The powder should be at least 1 inch deep.
- Using an eyedropper, squeeze a drop of water onto the surface and let it soak in. Then continue squeezing single drops of water onto the same spot until 6 drops have been deposited. Allow each drop to soak in before adding the next.
- Now dip a fork under this area and gently lift upward. A chewy little gumdrop will come to the surface.
This Is What Happens:
Gelatin dessert is made of sugar, flavouring, and protein. As you add drops of water to this dry powder, the mixture swells and holds the water in place, keeping the liquid suspended within the surrounding solid material with its protein fibers.
