Growing Gummy Bear
Experiment
By: Michelle Garcia
In this experiment, I will..
● Place a 1” inch tall gummy bear into a glass container filled with water. ● I will observe the gummy bear every 2 hours, within a 24 hour period. ● Any changes in the appearance of the gummy Bear will be recorded.
● The bottom of the gummy bear begins to turn translucent. ● Some bubbling occurs around the edge of the glass.
Results after 2 hours
elapsed time
Results between 4th and 6th hours of submersion
● The gummy bear grew in size. ● It lost some of its purple color and is more translucent than before. ● The water is now entirely bubbly.
● My observations
during the 12th, 14th
and 16th hour
consisted of the same
results.
● The gummy bear
measured at 1 and ¼
inches in length during
these time frames.
● It also expanded in width
when compared to my
10th hour observation.
The results during the 18th & 20th hour show..
● A growth of 2 centimeters
in length.
Side view image of final results
● As you can see, the gummy bear grew in all areas:length, width and depth.
My ending results conclude..
● The gummy bear expanded in size due to the volume of water entering it and it being absorbed (scientific process known as, osmosis) ● The gelatin kept the gummy bear from dissolving completely but the consistency did change from that of sponginess to a jellylike substance. ● The colored dye within the gummy bear did dissolve completely. ● Overall, the gummy bear nearly doubled in size, when compared to its original counterpart.
Thank you!!
