1. Gummy Bear Lab

2. Bell Ringer Draw a gummy bear that is approximately 3-5 lines tall on your notebook paper. Label the length of the bear Label the width of the bear Label the height or thickness of the bear

3. Part 1: Measurement (sitting up) Measure the length of the bear from the top of its head to the bottom of its feet. Measure the width at its widest point across the back of the bear. Measure the height from the front to the back at its thickest point. Calculate the volume by L x W x H = ___ cm3 Measure the mass (triple beam/digital scale) Calculate density by dividing mass by the volume

4. Part 2: Scientific Question & Prediction What effect does water have on a gummy bear? Prediction: What do you think will happen to a gummy bear when you put it in water over night?

5. Experiment Data: DayColorLengthWidthHeightV olume MassDensity 1 2 Amount of Change Once your data table is copied, 1 person from your group gets the cup from the drawer. Fill the cup with water ¼ of the way up. Then, put the cup back in the drawer. Make sure that day 1 in the data table is filled out.

6. Review Questions 1.Was your prediction correct? Why or why not? 2.Which is greater-volume or mass? Explain. 3.Was there a change in density? Why? 4.How do your results compare to those of your classmates?
