Gummy Bear Osmosis :)

Aim: 

I want to find out what happens when gummy bears are put in liquids.

Method:

Equipment:

Salt water aka Sodium Chloride (NA on the periodic table of elements) 

Normal water aka H2O 

Sugar water aka Sucrose aka Sugar Cane 

SOUR HARIBO GUMMY BEARS HAYEEEEEE (or any gummy bears)

Two Petri dishes      

Marken pen

Electronic Scales

Safety glasses

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Get your equipment   
  2. Wear safety glasses
  3. Get your marker pen, and write your name and the conditions, AND the weight of gummy bears.
  4. Do the experiment yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Finishing results: 

Without Difference:
With Difference:
My sugar gummy gained the most weight out of the two. WHY? Because the gummy bear, before the sucrose was added into the Petri dish, had a low concentration of water to begin with. Then, when the sucrose was added, the small holes in the gummy did not allow large amounts of sugar molecules into the gummy bear, only a few could enter at a time, but the little water molecules could enter large amounts at a time, so over the night a lot of water molecules got in, and only a small amount of sugar molecules entered the gummy. It only really TASTED like sugar was in it because the colour of the gummy bear (red) had dissolved into the sucrose and the gummy was in the sucrose for the night. And the dry gummy only gained a little bit because of the dust that built up on the surface of it.
