The folks over at the Orbiting Frog came up with this yummy science experiment. It turns out that anyone with a microwave (with turntable), microwave safe dish, a ruler, and yummy marshmallows or chocolate chips can measure the speed of light!
Whether they can do it without getting sick to there stomachs is another question :)
I haven't looked but I'm certain this could be worked into a badge somewhere. Cubs doesn't have a science badge, but Scouts do. Heck why should Scouts have all the fun.
Brilliant folks! We need more edible (or gooey) science experiments.
Wow! This is fabulous - will definately try it out with our Cubs - they all just love marshmallows.... and to learn something on top of it all !! Great blog - thanks.
