Still image from: Emily's Science Lab: Edible Worms Experiment

In "Emily's Science Lab: Edible Worms Experiment," hosted by MIT engineer Emily Calandrelli, learn how to create delicious edible worms while exploring key concepts in chemistry and food science. This engaging episode teaches the basics of gastronomy, specifically the role of sodium alginate and calcium chloride in creating gummy textures through a fun and simple experiment. By combining sodium alginate from seaweed with flavored liquid and a calcium chloride solution, viewers witness the fascinating process of polymer cross-linking, resulting in edible worms. The video encourages scientific curiosity and hands-on learning, making it highly relevant for students interested in chemistry, biology, and culinary arts. It's an enriching experience that aligns with STEM education goals, enhancing understanding of chemical reactions and food preparation processes.
