Making Jelly

Room 16 Makes Jelly from Team 1 PES on Vimeo.
Making jelly was a great way to see the changes that happened when a solid becomes a liquid and then using cooling becomes a solid again.  It provided motivation for the children's writing.

Jeyda wrote, "The jelly wobbled because it was solid in the packet.  Now it is a liquid but it needed to be put in the fridge until it was good for us to eat."

Savanah wrote, "The jelly was wobbly and sticky because when we made it, it looked like it was frozen."

The texture of the jelly was also a writing motivation with Adrianna writing, "The jelly is yummy at school.  It wobbled and wobbled, left and right.  It wobbled sideways."

Marius enjoyed the jelly, "I was eating jelly in Room 16.  Everybody chose their favourite colour.  The jelly was amazing.  I loved the jelly.  I ate it all.  The jelly was wobbly and it stuck on the spoon."
