Shrinking Chip Bag - Sick Science!

Learn more at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/content/experiment/shrinking-chip-bags We can't get our hands on enough stuff to shrink. Faced with the problem of creating tiny chip bags (don't ask, some things are better left alone), we turned to Steve. "I don't know. Throw them in the microwave," was all he had to say. So we tossed a bag in the microwave and now we have this experiment. Is it scientific? Oh you bet your bag of salted potato chips that it's scientific.
