Sarah H 2012-2013 The purpose of this study was to determine how much force was needed to break pieces of chewed gum. Gum is most often made of tree sap, this method of gum was discovered by the Mayans, the Greeks and the North American Indians. It was determined that some of the flavors of gum took more force to break than others. The gum that took more force to break was the gum with the most chemicals in it which made it harder to break. A way to improve the experiments would be to consistently use the same person so that the variables of the gum would be reduced. Future experiments could be to see how much force it took to pull gum out of objects like clothes and hair. That would be an interesting follow-up experiment because gum gets stuck in hair and on clothes a lot.
