The Ratio of Surface Area to Volume
Demonstrate the ratio of surface area to volume in your high school class by using phenolphthalein, gelatin, and an onion. Intrigue the class by leading a discussion on osmosis and diffusion, then making "scientific jello." Participants...
Curated OER
Jello Cells
Students describe the cell as a 3D object rather than the 2D object they are accustomed to observing. They describe the appearance and location within the cell of the various cell organelles.

Leprechaun Dust
Learners make "leprechaun dust" in this short art lesson plan using Jello instant pistachio pudding, small jars, milk, and spoons. Ideal for celebrating St. Patrick's Day with early-elementary students. Can be combined with the reading...
Curated OER
Math, Chemistry, and Food
Students explore the effects of chemical reactions when cooking. Using the Internet, they research enzymes and then mix jello. They examine their results and test enzyme activity by adding pineapple to the jello. Finally, they test...
Curated OER
Lemon Light
Students engage in a lesson which model different types of light refraction. They perform an experiment which uses lasers, jello and wax paper to illustrate how light refracts.
Curated OER
Earthquake in the Classroom
Pupils discover how engineers construct buildings to stand up against earthquakes. They build their own structures out of marshmallows and toothpicks. They test how earthquake-proof their building is with jello.

Sunken Jell-O Ships
Learners use the internet to research a sailing vessel of their choice. Using toothpicks, they create their own models of the vessel and put into blue jello to appear like it is in water. They write a report based on their vessel and...
Curated OER
Edible Glacier
Young scholars complete a KWL chart on what they know about glaciers. Then they gather together around a table containing Jello and Cool Whip cookie mixture and are introduced to the parts of a glacier by observing this model.
Curated OER
Gelatin and Enzyme Lab
Students observe the effectiveness of detergents on breaking down proteins. In this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that shows how proteins are broken down in gelatin and fill out a worksheet.
