Experimental protocol
Gelatine must be solid!
It must be firm enough to remain stable, but tremble if agitated.
What if, suddenly, your gelatine instead of becoming solid with the texture of a delicious gel becomes liquid and slippery? Do this experiment and find out which ingredient sabotaged your delicious dessert.
This activity comes under the program #cienciavivaathome. From the kitchen to the bathroom, even walking through the garage, no room was left out: after all, science is everywhere!
