Jonathan S. 2011-2012 The purpose of this experiment was to find how much force was required to rip apart different gummy candies. Gummy candies are made from starch, gelatin, sugar and corn syrup. Those ingredients are already sticky by themselves, so that is why gummy bears are so stretchy and sticky. Gummy worms were attached on the hook of a spring scale and pulled apart. The force taken was recorded, and this was done two more times. This was repeated with gummy bears and Swedish fish. It was found that Swedish fish take the most force to rip apart, gummy bears take the second most force, and gummy worms take the third most. This was not expected, as gummy bears are the thickest of the three candies.
 * THE STUDY OF FORCE TO RIP GUMMY CANDIES APART WHEN USING DIFFERENT TYPES GUMMY CANDIES **
 * ABSTRACT **


 * CONCLUSION **

In all, it was found that swedish fish were the strongest gummy. This is important to the world because it is known which gummy bears are the chewiest. The hypothesis was incorrect because it was predicted that gummy bears would take the most n to rip apart, It would be interesting to see how much force it would take to rip apart gummy worms and bears when they are soaked in neutral, acid and base.
