The myth concerning Top Ramen noodles states that the noodles will stretch to the length of a football field. Using your data challenge that myth A football field is about 109 meters (end zone-end zone)!! A mere 91 meters with no end zones! Practice measuring using the modern metric system to convert between units. Use the process of science to evaluate a popular claim. I can measure in centimeters using a ruler I can add numbers and decimals I can work with my group in an efficient way. I can make a hypothesis (prediction) Top Ramen is the king of noodles. With a reputation built on eight-for- a-dollar, ten-for-a-dollar, and even 12-for-a-dollar packaged soup, These affordable three-minute meals have supplied life-giving nutrients to innumerable college students. However, having graduated from a university and forged a respected status in my community, Mr. D. usually opts for a somewhat classier brand of instant noodle: Top Ramen. I refer to it as "the gentleman's noodle". Like all instant ramen, the Top Ramen package is actually a food kit, containing both a tough block of tangled wheat noodles and a foil envelope containing 8 grams of salt and seasoning. The dimensions of the Ramen block are easy to measure, but how long are the noodles within? Is the block really one long noodle, carefully folded in the best traditions of foodigami? It can be a slow, tedious job, but with everyone pitching in, time passes by really quickly. FTW Trying to impress your classmates by eating off a table or floor is not. Ramen was not so kind to this guy. The final numbers will be tallied and calculated: _______centimeters of noodle, more than _____ meters! The next time you are in the mood for a long lunch, cook yourself some instant Ramen, the longest lunch!
