The students practiced what they learned about the Scientific Method by conducting an experiment. Their goal was to save their gummy worm Fred because his boat (the cup) capsized with his life preserver (gummy lifesaver) underneath it. They were given 4 paper clips, and could only touch the boat, the worm, and lifesaver with the paperclips. They were not able to touch with their fingers. They had 12 minutes to attempt. Once time was up, they recorded their observations. We had a few successes!
