Gummy Bear Lab​​ ​ ​ ​


Objective = To observe diffusion.

Part A: Choose one gummy bear from the bag of Gummy Bears. Use the equipment available to measure your gummy
bear and record the data in the chart for Day 1.

Measurements:

●​ The length of your gummy bear should be measured from the top of its head to the bottom of its feet to the nearest
tenth of a centimeter.
●​ Measure the width at the widest point across the back of the bear to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
●​ Measure the thickness from the front to the back at the thickest point to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
●​ Calculate the volume by multiplying the length, width, and thickness. Round to the nearest tenth of a
centimeter.
●​ Measure the mass using a scale to the nearest tenth of a gram.
●​ Calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume. Round answer to the nearest hundredth.

Part B: Put the bear in a cup labeled with your name and class period. Add 50 ml of water to the cup and allow
it to sit overnight. On Day 2, remove the gummy bear from the cup of water and use a towel to dry it off to
prevent it from dripping all over the place. Repeat the measurements from Part A and record your data in the
correct position of the chart. Determine the amount of change for each measurement and record in the chart.

Change

Volume = L x W x H Density = M/V

Questions (Do questions 1-4 and the CER statement)

1. Which change is greater – volume or mass? Explain.

Mass because if you look at the amount of change in the table, the change in mass is greater than the change in
volume.

2. Was there a change in density? Why?

Yes because the volume increased


3. Define diffusion

The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.

4. How did the water move in this experiment?

It moved into

CER Statement

C = The mass of the gummy bear went up because the water went into the gummy bear.

E = Mass before water: 2.3g

Mass after water: 8.5g

R = The mass of the gummy bear went up by 6.2g after water was added. This shows that the gummy bear
absorbed some of the water which caused the gummy bear to become heavier, increasing the mass.

Counterclaim = The amount of water in the cup could have affected the size of the gummy bear.
