Exploring Gelatin: A Fun Science Experiment

The video explores the properties of gelatin, a favorite dessert of the host and Squeaks. They conduct an experiment to see if gelatin can pass through a colander, discussing its solid and liquid characteristics. The host explains how to make gelatin by dissolving powder in hot water and cooling it. The video concludes by explaining that gelatin is a colloid, acting as both a solid and a liquid, and invites viewers to subscribe for more content.
