Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I bought three different types of gum. I'm going to time all three in flavor three times each, but i don't have enough research for this topic. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Hello Patty,

Another student had questions regarding this experiment also. Check out this thread:

Some ideas were:

- study how long the flavour lasts.
- study time people chew before deciding the gum was spent.
- study what gum is made out of and compare the ingredients in the different brands.
- study why the flavor of gum decreases over time (what ingredients are being digested by your saliva?)

in my opinion 5 gum last the longest hope this helps
