How to Make a Thick Gelatin for a Children's Science Project
- 1). Cut open the top of the gelatin envelope and pour one package of unflavored gelatin powder into a bowl. One envelope of unflavored gelatin powder traditionally equals approximately one tablespoon and will gel 16 ounces or two cups of liquid. Use more than one envelope if more than two cups of gelatin is needed.
- 2). Pour two cups of boiling water into the bowl, stirring until the powder is dissolved.
- 3). Chill the container with the gelatin liquid in the refrigerator until firm or until the gelatin reaches the consistency desired. Unflavored gelatin is odorless, colorless and flavorless and forms a jelly when dissolved in hot water and refrigerated until thoroughly chilled.
