"Stained Glass" Gelatin Disks



"Stained Glass" Gelatin Disks

This pretty disks are fun and easy to make, and you can cover some chemistry terms while you are making them.
Make a solution of a lot of gelatin powder and only a little water...in a plastic lid.
It makes a very thick mixture.
When the powder is dissolved... add a few drops of food coloring of the colors of your choice and gently turn the lid so that the coloring swirls slowly in the solution.

Let them sit for about a week until they are thoroughly dried. Slowly peel them off the lid, taking care not to tear them.
Now you can tape them to a window and see the beautiful stained glass-type look to them.
Pretty, aren't they?
