Gummy Bear Lab Report

The gummy bear's mass and volume will increase while the density of the gummy bear would decrease after it is put into water overnight. (#)This lab experimented to figure out wah changes would take to the gummy bear’s mass, volume, and density after sitting in a cup of water overnight. To do this the gummy bear's dimensions and weight was taken on the first day, along with its density and then the gummy bear was placed and water. When the gummy bear was taken out of the water on day two, the dimensions, weight, and density were taken again, and the difference between the two days was found. (#1) Between days one and two the difference in mass of the gummy bear was increased by 5.9 grams, having about a 169% increase in mass. (#2) Similarly, the volume of the gummy bear increased by 7.374 cm3 having a 246% increase after soaking in the …show more content…

(The gummy bear's volume had the biggest difference between the three properties. Volume could have been the most gaining in units for several reasons. One of those reasons is after the gummy bear had soaked in the water, it absorbed some of the water. That is known as water absorption, but even though it absorbed that water when it was taken out of the cup, some of the water was released back into the cup. Some of the mass may have also dissolved because there was a slight discoloration of the gummy bear along with some of the coloration in the water. The volume also increased due to water absorption, because the gummy bear expanded, making the measurements larger. Volume is based on how much space an object occupies, and one way it is calculated is based on the measurements LengthxWidthxHeight. If these measurements increase, so will the volume. But density did the opposite and decreased. Density decreasing can come down to many factors, but a big one is the compactness of an

The experiment conveys how the percent compositions of the sugar in the brand sticks of gum were different, even though the nutritional facts portrayed that the sugar content should have been the same. Based on the data, it is determined that Trident has a lower composition of sugar in the gum, in relation to Orbit. This is shown, as after 5 minutes of chewing the gum, the total mass of Trident dropped by .94 grams whereas the mass of Orbit gum dropped by 1.18 grams. The percent sugar composition in the Trident gum was 50% whereas Orbit had a sugar composition of

Next I measured 50 milliliters of distilled water into a graduated cylinder and poured it into the beaker filled with the guar gum. I mixed it together until the guar gum was dissolved in the water. Then I measured four milliliters of 4% Borax solution into a graduated cylinder and added it to the mixture. I then stirred it until it became slime. Finally, I poured it into my hands to feel its consistency and viscosity.

We are doing a gummy bear lab. Gummy bears come in different sizes, shapes, and colors. Gummy bears are squishy, chewy, and sticky, they are made of sugar which are glucose and glucose are carbohydrate. We predict that during this stage of lab the solute and solvent will go through the stages of hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. We get 4 gummy bears and 4 cups filled half way with different types of liquid, such as Salt-Water, Coffee-Creamer, Vinegar, and Soda.

The subject chewed gum for a minute before they took the timed multiplication test and then took the test 2 times with the same gum then switched after 2 tests. Spearmint and bubblegum were very close in times. The one that did win though that was the fastest was spearmint gum. Some patterns that was shown is that the very first test is always slower than the other two gum, also that the bubble gum and spearmints averages both had more two minute averages than watermelon. The scientist thinks that spearmint gum was the best because of the mint flavor in the

Our first method was to weigh the glass by putting it in a graduated cylinder of water and placing the glass inside and to observe the lever to with the water rose after first recording the original state of the water. The second test we preformed was to measure the glass and use it’s dimensions to determine the density. This procedure taught me how problem solve effectively and scientifically using information I previously learned in both chemistry and mathematics and applying it to this problem. This also gave me the ability to test the effectiveness of my experiment and decide which one was more proficient at producing an accurate test of the density of the glass. We continuously referred back to the original request of the experiment, making sure our goals aligned with the problem at hand, determining

In this experiment three gummy bears were put in different solutions to observe the effect of osmosis on them. The independent variable in this situation are the following types of water: tap, salt, and sugar. The dependent variable is the change in mass and volume from all three gummy bears. The gummy bear brand, the environment, and the amount of time in the solution are the constants of the experiment. After the experiment is competed, one can determine how the osmosis changes the gummy bears.

Therefore, the result might be different if there was more corn syrup. b) Dependent (Responding) - what is being measured? How much the mass of the egg (amount of water inside) increases or decreases after 24 hours of soaking in the liquids. The mass is depends on what happens after 24 hours with the distilled water/corn syrup.

On our paper we predicted the amount of pennies that could fit in the boat before it sank. We tested the boat in the water and added pennies one by one. We then calculated the mass of pennies that fit in the boat and the density of it. The purpose of this Lab was to make a boat that holds as many pennies as possible and understand how to calculate

This experiment was created to contrast the effects of osmosis between three gummy bears in tap, sugar, and salt water. To compare the gummy bears, three cups were gathered and filled with twenty-five milliliters of the particular water solution. Then the mass and volume of each gummy bear was recorded into a chart. To find the mass, zero a balance once a strip of wax paper is placed over, and then place your gummy bear and record the mass. To find the volume of the bear, multiply the length, width, and height of the bear in centimeters with the help of a ruler.

During the experiment, observations were made of their color, mass, height, and width. This data shows percent mass change of the gummy bear and how the gummy bear was affected by the salt water. It also displays how the height and the width of the gummy bear changed because of the salt water, which made the gummy bear more compact. The more salt that was added to the distilled water, the more compact it was, however, if there was not a lot of salt in the mixture, it became large and fragile. The mass of the gummy bear was increased as a result of less salt being added with the distilled water.

When the gummy bear was placed in distilled water, the water entered the gummy bear making it increase in size because the concentration inside the gummy bear was greater than the outside of the gummy bear. When the gummy bear was placed in tap water, the gummy bear expanded due to osmosis. The gummy bear is made of glucose, salt, etc and the water in the cup surrounding it moved into the bear because water moves from high concentration (cup of water) to low concentration (gummy bear). As a result the bear collected a significant amount of water causing it to become much larger in size.

The Density Exploration lab called for us to use two different methods to calculate the density of copper with various shapes and sizes. The second experiment called for us to devise an experiment to calculate the differences in density between soft drinks. Rather than calculating using two different methods to calculate for the same substance we had two different soft drinks, diet and non-diet Coca-Cola. We then used two volumetric pipets to measure the volumes of the soft drink, then placed the soda in a beaker to calculate the mass using an analytical balance. The questions that I considered before beginning the experiment were, “How does each method of calculating density affect the outcome?’

Each group was assigned a different percent of sucrose solution out of the four variables; 0% , 5%, 10%, and 15%. After we filled the beaker we then got two potato cores. Once we had the cores we cut the skin off the ends. Following this we then cut the two potato cores into four 2.00 cm potato cores. After they were cut into 2.00 cm each we found the mass.
