Simply make the Jell-O as directed, but substitute tonic water for the cold water. (Kids can help with this entire process—it’s just a bit of pouring and stirring.) Then divide the Jell-O between the glass jars and chill until firm. When you’re ready, gather everyone in a dimly lit room and turn on the black light to experience the spooky glow. Then dig in—the best part about this experiment is that it doubles as dessert.
