It went all crackly and the gelatin sort of stood up, like stalagthingys. Then when I moved it away heaps of the gelatin was on the balloon. It was so cool.

I didn't have unflavored gelatin so I tried the flavored kind and compared it to regular white sugar to change the variable. The flavored gelatin rose higher than the sugar. I had fun!

Though we may be 14 years old, we are still faithful Zoomers! We watch practically every day! Yesterday, your Electric Gelatin Zoom Sci caught our eye. The way the static electricity on the balloon attracted the powedered gelatin was amazing! You said to try it and send in our results so, that's what we're doing! We tried 22 different powdered substances and here are our results. We sifted all the powders and rubbed the balloon 30 times on a 100% lamb's wool sweater before testing each powder. brown sugar-worked baby oatmeal (dry)-worked the best enfamil-failed groud tea-worked powdered sugar-failed ground cloves-worked ground oreos w/o filling-worked cajun spice-worked baking soda-worked groun cummin-worked wheat flour-worked white flour-failed black pepper-worked salt-worked dry potato spuds-worked seasoned salt-worked cream of tartar-failed ground cinnamon-failed meat tenderiser-worked corn starch-failed pancake mix-failed garlic salt-worked

The Gelation looks Cool when you put it under the Balloon. The Suger din't work as well as the Gelation. It was some fun!!

When I held the charged balloon on top of the unflavoured gelatin powder, the gelatin powder stuck to the balloon, and on the plate were little stalagmites. When I tried it with sugar, the froce was not as strong, but the sugar still attracted. The little stalagmites still appeard, but didn't stay for as long because it had less attraction force. I used this experiment to hand in a science report at school and I got an A! I love this experiment. It is so cool!

We did different trials with the salt, suger, and gelatin using wool first then cotton. The wool gave a stronger electric charge than the cotton.

The gelatin is a great project. It is also fun. The flavored gelatin poped up and down and it did not work so well. But the unflavored geltain worked so much better. We could accualy see the gelatin rise from the plate!!

The electric gelatin rocks! It is so fun to do and I enjoyed it a lot! When I did this the gelatin started to attract to the plate. I used the unflavored becuase the flavored doesn't work as well as the other. I also am planning on trying it with sugar. Hopefully it will work as well as the unflavored gelatin!!!

I used flavored and unflavored gelatin and the flavored worked pretty good, but the unflavored worked the best! It made little mountains out of the gelatin!!!
