Gummy bears experiment

GUMMY BEARS EXPERIMENT

Gummy  bears do some interesting things when put into different liquids.  We wanted to find out what would happen when we put gummy bears into water, salt water, vinegar, and baking soda water.

We recorded some observations before put them into the cups, like length, texture, color...

 

We left the gummy bears overnight and next day we could see some interesting facts. These are the results:

Then, they completed a report with a chart on length previous observations and conclusion.

 

 

                                        


All of the gummy bears GREW due to osmosis. Water left the gummy bear in the salt water solution, that is why those gummies grew the least- although they did grow a little. The gummies always grew the most in vinegar.  The vinegar almost completely dissolved the gelatin, those bears were really falling apart!
