I think it’s safe to say that pretty much every Candy Addict among us would have been thrilled to be a 1st grader learning math with a fun, yet delicious learning tool – gummi worms! Well, at the Museum Magnet School of the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul, that’s just what a class got to do.
It turns out they also learned some interesting facts about gummi worms. Not exactly tempered steel, but a single worm can hold a whopping 120 pennies, and can stretch to 9 inches long. I guess that kinda explains why they can be so darn hard to chew sometimes, huh?
This is absolutely awesome. I would LOVE to see a series of experiments involving gummi worms! =D
Yeah, I was totally hoping it would be a series of experiments involving candy or something, but it turns out they were studying *worms* of all things. I guess it would be, you know… wrong or something to use real worms. And kind of disgusting, too.
I’m going to do an experiment on Gummy Worms!
what will happen if i put gummy worms in the microwave???
