Making jelly in Junior infants





Last few weeks we have been talking about materials. Today we were talkin about jelly-different flavours, what we eat it with, when we eat it, where we can get jelly. Then teacher showed us the jelly. It was in shapes of cubes. Ms.Crotty asked us if we knew how to make jelly- and we told her how. Teacher boiled the kettle and we talked about how dangerous boiling water is and how only adults should touch a kettle and boiling water. We heard the kettle boil and watched the steam. We placed the jelly in the bowl and added the water to it. We watched the jelly dissolve and we stirred it and the water turned red and all the jelly melted / dissolved. We placed in the fridge and we hope tomorrow that we will have wibbly wobbly jelly.
JELLY IS SET
Today we went to the fridge and we discovered our jelly had set. It was not watery anymore. Instead it was wobbly and jiggly. The bowl felt very cold as well. The cold fridge helped the jelly to set. Yummy, yummy strawberry jelly.
