- - - - Breaks into pieces
        
        Cannot be put back together once broken
        
        Even when broken down into tiny pieces and pushed together, the pieces do not blend.
        
        The only way to reform it is to melt it down and re-solidify it.
      - Bouncey
        
        Can be made into bouncey balls.
      - Varying degrees of softness,
        depending on the mixture concentration.
        
        Spongey -
        has some give
        even when highly concentrated
        
        Does not change to pressure though.
        It always bounces back to original shape,
        or it breaks.
        
        Cannot be moulded.
        
        Can be sculpted using tools to cut it.
        
        Can be flakey when really concentrated
      - Not sticky
        
        Does not stick to stuff
        
        Stuff does not stick to it
    - - No consistant smell
        
        Sometimes perhaps a slightly salty, sea-like smell
      - Seems to be effected by what the mixture is contained in.
    - - Is it in glass or plastic? Or Other?
      - Is it in many small portions or one large portion?
      - What is the concentration
        
        Highly concentrated
        
        Lower concentration
    - - Clear when melted
      - Opaque when solidified
      - Can be coloured with food colouring, like gelatin.
    - - Can be broken quite easily depending on cencentration
      - When set in thin sheets, it does not maintain it's structure well.
    - - Organic movement
  - - - Abject
      - Grossness often effected or decided by colour
    - - Quite an abstract substance so people think about what it COULD be, or what it reminds them of.
- - - - Movement
      - Flow
      - Colourful
      - Beautiful
      - Strong
      - Soft
      - Smooth

    - - One of several types of
        Marine Algae used for Agar #
        
        Gelidiella
        
        Pterocladia
        
        Gelidium
    - - "the hydrodynamic conditions of the environment where Gelidium grows play an important role in the agar content in the weed as well as its gel strength characteristics."

        Gelatine Substitute
        
        Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans
        
        Melting Temperature 85°C
        
        Solidifying Temperature 32 - 40°C
        
        Makes it perfect for scientific experiments.
        
        Doesn't melt at room temperature (unlike gelatine)
        
        Resembles human body temperature
