Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

does any one know where to find clear jello? this is for my project can the speed of light be measured through gelatinous substances?

Hi Leilani,

You can purchase gelatin at the supermarket. Typically, gelatin is used in cooking to emulate the feel of fat (ie pudding). I don't recall the Jell-O brand selling plain old gelatin. However, I think there is a brand called Knox that sells unflavored gelatin powder.

Hope that helps,

James
