Why aren't all medicines pills?

Post by deleted-344987 »

For the materials, meat tenderizer and unflavored gelatin powder. Is it okay to not use the listed quantity? Can I use a flavored gelatin powder? My project is due on February 24.

Hi ScientificScientist!

You will get the best results (and feel a whole lot less frustrated!) if you use the materials and amounts listed in the project. I'm not certain how flavored gelatin would affect the outcome. My gut instinct is that it shouldn't have a huge effect. However, the best option is to do the project exactly as written, using the ingredients and quantities exactly as listed in the project.
All the best,
Terik
