A fun look at the scientific process! Search Google for additional information and videos regarding the Twinkie Project

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project ( Tests With Inorganic Noxious Kakes In Extreme S ituations) is perhaps one of the best illustrated examples of the connection between the scientific mind and the art of pure silliness.

Apparently, this site was the result of "a series of experiments conducted during finals week, 1995, at Rice University." Which also demonstrates rather conclusively how productive a little applied silliness can be during periods of great academic stress. This observation, along with a bunch of burnt, soaked, pureed, shocked, crushed and microwaved Twinkies, is probably the most important of their findings.

Speaking of which, here's a summary of what they discovered:

Twinkies don't burn well unless doused in alcohol. Then they make good fires.

Twinkies in water expand to near twice their size and look really gross.

When they are pureed Twinkies can be compressed much. Really mostly air.

Do Twinkies conduct? Run lots of current through them. Very resistive.

Dropped off of sixth floor Twinkies are not injured much. Just a small fissure.

Microwaved Twinkies emit a great deal of smoke and smell very bad.

Why Khan Academy works

Tools to empower teachers

With Khan Academy, teachers can identify gaps in their students' understanding, tailor instruction, and meet the needs of every student.

DISTRICTS

TEACHERS

"I'm finally able to truly differentiate my classroom. This has been priceless for my students' engagement."

LEARNERS AND STUDENTS

"I come from a poor family. At home it's one room, just a room we live in. When I was a child, I used to fear mathematics. But now, I am in love with mathematics because of Khan Academy."

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Every child deserves the chance to learn.

Across the globe, 617 million children are missing basic math and reading skills. We're a nonprofit delivering the education they need, and we need your help. You can change the course of a child's life.
