Gummy Bear Osmosis

Hello everyone, in science, we are working on a gummy bear osmosis.

Aim:

I want to find out what happens when gummy bears are put in liquids.

Method:

Equipment

• Sodium Chloride / Salt Water
• Safety Glasses
• Normal Water
• Sucrose / Sugar Water
• Gummy Bears
• 2 Petri Dishes
• Marker Pen
• Electronic Scales

Instructions

1. Get your equipment
2. Wear safety glasses
3. Using the market pen, write your name and the conditions (dry, water, saltwater, sugar water) and the weight of gummy bear
4. Do the experiment.

Results:

	Dry Gummy	Sugar Gummy	Water Gummy	Salty Gummy
Initial Weight: (g)	2.45g	2.21g	2.23g	2.22g
Final Weight: (g)	2.43g	5.23g	7.45g	4.07g
Difference	.2g -	gain 3.02	gain 5.22g	gain 1.85g

The water gummy is the heaviest gummy, the reason why it became heavy its because the gummy absorbs the water. Gummy bears are dry when they are made, so when you put it to H2O, its most likely to loose it's colour and flavour.

The dry gummy didn't gain weight, but it lost weight because we let it out all night. So probably, it became cold.

The sugar gummy gained weight because gummy bears are created to be sweet, when a gummy bear and sucrose get mixed together.
