How to Make Rainbow Jelly

We have been learning about measuring volume. We have learnt that you can measure volume in millilitres and litres. We know that one cup is 250 ml and two cups is 500 ml. We also know that 1000 ml make one litre. To practise measuring volume we have been making a rainbow jelly. We have already made two layers. They are blue and green. Today we are making the yellow layer. We still have to make the red and orange layers.

Here is how you can make rainbow jelly at home. We doubled the numbers of jelly packets we used to make enough for everyone in Room 2.


You will need:

1 packet of red jelly
1 packet of orange jelly
1 packet of yellow jelly
1 packet of green jelly
1 packet of blue jelly
250 ml of water to mix up each packet of jelly

1 measuring cup
2 bowls
1 spoon


Method

1. Put the packet of blue jelly crystals into a bowl.
2. Add 250 ml of hot water and stir until the jelly crystals dissolve.
3. Put the jelly in the fridge to set.
4. Make the green jelly in a different bowl.
5. When it is cool, pour it on top of the blue jelly.
6. Put it in the fridge to set again.
7. Repeat these steps with the yellow, orange and red jelly.
8. Once it has set, spoon it into a bowl and eat.
