Osmosis - gummy bears

 Osmosis: The movement if solvent through the wall of a solid.

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

I am predicting that the gummy bears will grow in the liquids

Equipment:

three solutions - water, sugar and salt

four gummy bears of the same colour

two dishes

marker pen

Electronic balance

measuring cylinder

beaker

Solvent	dry	wet
Water	Red 2.46	5.94
Salt water	Clear 2.48	3.90
Sugar water	Yellow 2.45nu	6.01

 Findings:

The water that was included in the first gummy bear dish made the gummy bear change from a dry weight of 2.46 to a wet weight of 5.94. The difference between the two weights was 3.48. This means that the gummy bear absorbed 3.48 grams of water though the process of osmosis. Te salt water gummy bear dish has a change from a dry weight of 2.48 and a wet weight of 3.90 that mean the different's was 1.92 grams. Lastly we did one last one with sugar water. When the bear was dry it was 2.45 gram and when it was wet it was 6.01 the difference was 3.56.
