gummy would fall off as it had softened over time. This would
affect the results as the bits that had fallen off the gummy • 9 plastic bowls (3 per trial) • By Naomi Wright
were not weighed.
• 12 gummies (4 per trial) CONCLUSION
• The experiment could be improved by extending the amount
of time the gummies were submerged. This would improve • 100 mL of water per bowl • After finishing the experiment, I found out that the gummies that were submerged in water mixed with sugar increased in mass the most, at an
the results and would make it clearer to see when they were average of 8.8 grams after the 48 hours. The gummies submerged in pure water reached an average mass of 7.7 grams, and the gummies submerged
changing in mass. • 1 tbsp of salt (per trial) in water mixed with salt only reached an average mass of 5.6 grams, before decreasing to 5.2 grams by the end of the 48 hours.
• 1 tbsp of sugar (per trial)
• To answer my experimental question, yes, the mass of a gummy does change when submerged in different water solutions for certain periods of time.
