Experiment 1: Gummy Bear Growth
Objective: To observe how gummy bears change in size when placed in different liquids.
Procedure:
- Fill separate bowls with water, salt water, vinegar, and baking soda solution.
- Place one gummy bear in each bowl.
- Record your observations in your notebook – the size, shape, and color of each gummy bear.
- Leave the gummy bears in the liquids for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, carefully remove the gummy bears and observe any changes.
- Record your findings.

Gummy bears are made of gelatin, a substance that can absorb water. In this experiment, we are testing how different liquids affect the size and structure of the gummy bears. Water should cause them to swell, while the acidic vinegar may dissolve some of the gummy bears, and the saltwater may have a similar effect due to osmosis. The baking soda solution may also influence the gummy bear's structure.
