Gummy Brear Osmosis

 Aim: I want to find out what happens to Gummy bears when we put them into different liquids. I think the gummy bears will grow in the liquid.

Equiment

Three solutions - water, sugar and salt

Four gummy bears if the same colour

Two Petri dishes

Marker pen

Electronic Balance

Measuring Cylinder

Beaker

Steps

1. get Equipment

2. Label Petri with Dry, water Salt water Sugar

3. Weigh the Gummy Bears and record their weight on the Petri Dish

4. Add 40mL of the solution into the Petri Dish

Findings:

weight change.



FINDINGS


The Water that was included in the first gummy bear petri dish made the gummy bear change from dry weight of 2.9 to a weight of 5.94 The difference between the two weights was 3.9 This means that the gummy bear absorbed this amount through the process of osmosis. The salt water gummy bear bear petri dish had a change from dry weight of 2.8 to a wet weight of 3.90 The difference in these weights were 1.1 The sugar water solution in the petri dish with the gummy bear made the gummy bear weigh  2.10 to a wet weight 6.01 This means absorbed 4 water in total


THe gummy bear that changed the most was the gummy in the sugar water
