Apart from being great fun, making jelly develops the children’s understanding of solids and liquids and the processes we go through for solids to become liquids then back to solids. Science activities provide the ‘hands on’ approach to help the children to remember what they have learned having seen it in front of their own eyes. Just to add to the excitement of the activity, the children then had jelly to enjoy as part of their snack in the afternoon and nothing tastes better to the children than a snack they have prepared themselves.
