Abstract
An experiment is described in which students prepare biopolymer (agar, gelatin, and starch) films from aqueous solution and measure the tensile strengths of the films using easily constructed equipment. Agar and gelatin form moderately strong films. Starch forms weak films but the strength is increased by combining with agar and gelatin.
