Edible science

It is Friday so it must be science day. This week our main subject of exploration was gummy bears. What is the melting point of gummy bears? What happens to a gummy bear in the micro wave? And we also explored the concept of osmosis by suspending gummy bears in various liquid and recording over time what happened.
However, no good scientist would simply take things for granted, so our first experiment was determining if there is a difference in taste between a red, yellow, green and orange gummy bear.  Once this critical inquiry had been resolved, it was on to microwaving, oven baking and submerging.
