Those from the same experiment should be on the same shelf in the refrigerator, as the upper shelves have a higher temperature than the lower ones. A cooling room is a splendid place to put them while cooling. For class work when periods are short the setting may be hastened by putting the containers in crushed ice. The ice should be the same depth around all the containers. It is better to have all the containers for one experiment in the same pan of ice for cooling. The containers should be the same size, shape, and material, for if they are not the same size the surface area for cooling will be greater for some than for others. Enamel or aluminum are good materials for cooling gelatin solutions. Crockery or china cools more slowly than metal. The proportion of gelatin suggested in the following experiments, 3.5 grams for a cup of liquid, is not the best proportion for all gelatins. With some brands or grades about 2 per cent or about 4.8 grams per cup of liquid will be required for the best results. Find the best proportion of gelatin for the brand that is being used and substitute that amount for the amount given in the experiments. Use the same brand for all the experiments except Experiment 30.
