1. Measure the
length of
gum before
you start
chewing it.
Timmy and Mondo interviewed
mom and dad. They left clues
in the gumballs below for
Cecil. Write down every
other letter to discover
who broke the gnome.
Walter Diemer developed
bubble gum in 1928. It was
pink because that was the
only food color he had
available. His product was
called Dubble Bubble
and it became a top seller.
2. Blow a bubble
and measure
the diameter.
Can you figure
out the
circumference?
3. Stre-e-e-tch
the gum and
stick it on the
wax paper.
Make it as
long as you
can, then
measure it.
4. Chew a piece of gum for 2 minutes. Then chew a new
piece of gum for 10 minutes. Was it easier to blow
bubbles after a longer time? Write your observations here:

Originally gum was a kind of tree sap called chicle
extracted from tapping trees the same way latex is
comes from rubber trees. The natural ingredients
have now been replaced by man-made plastics and
rubber to which color, sweetener and
flavors are added.
60 to 70% of most
bubble gum is sugar.

According to the
Guinness Book of World
Records, the biggest bubble

Start with a simple
sentence like:
Bobby blew a
bubble. Then, look
through the
newspaper for
words you could
add to that sentence
to make it longer.
For example:
Bobby, a bright and
brawny boy,
vigorously blew a
beautiful, pink,
shining bubble.
Try stretching these
sentences:
Tobias stepped on
gum. Alison walked
the dog.
