Gummy Bear Osmosis

Kia Ora Readers!

Aim:

I want to find out what happens to gummy bears when we put them into different solutions.  

Prediction

I predict that they are gonna grow if you put them into the water for quite a long time. 

Method

Equipment:

• 4x gummy bear of the same colour 
• 2x Petri dishes
• Paper Towels
• Marker pen
• Water
• Sugar Water
• Salt water 
• Electronic balance 
• Beaker
  
• Measuring Cylinder 
• Safety Goggles 

Instructions:

1. Get Your equipment
2. put on your safety glasses
3. Using the marker, write the name of the condition on the petri dish. DRY, WATER, SALT WATER, SUGAR WATER. 
4. Weigh the gummy bears and write the weight on the petri dish.
5. Measure 4ml of the solution and pour it into the petri dish 

Results: 

This is before the experiment:

Results after 4 days:

	Dry	Water	Salt Water	Sugar Water
Initial Weight of Gummy bear	5.44	5.56	5.46	5.57
Final Weight of Gummy bear	5.19	4.98	5.14	6.63
Weight Difference
Initial Volume		40mL	40mL	40mL
Final Volume		3mL	4mL	5mL
Water Loss		37	36	35

What is Osmosis?

1. Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.
