Gelatin is composed of the molecule collagen (as in your fingernails). The collagen molecules are long strings that weakly bind to water to form a matrix. Since the bonds are weak (hydrogen bonds) the matrix yields and is non-rigid (in lay terms: jiggly). Mad science and Jell-O always go well together.
