Statement of the Problem: What will cause the gummy bear to grow the most?
Abstract:What will cause the gummy bears grow the most?
It is hypothesized that the water will make the gummy bears grow the most.
A brief procedure of the experiment is as follows. Placed two gummy bears in each bowl with water, Salt water, Baking soda water, and vinegar. Leave the bears in liquid for two days and after the time passed drained the liquids measure the size of the gummy bears and see how big they grew.
The results did not support the hypothesis.

Hypothesis: If you soak a gummy bear in water for three days then the gummy bear will grow the largest out of all the other liquids?
Variables: The independent variable, which will be changed and tested is the liquids that the gummy bears are sitting in.
The defendant variable will measure the change by seeing how much the size increased for the non-soaked gummy bear.
The constant variables for all of the tests are the same: brand of gummy bears, the location and not soaked before the test.
Data and Graph:

Procedure or Investigation: Materials Used
4 small bowls, water, salt, vinegar, baking soda, gummy bears (8), ruler
Procedure
To set up the experiment place the four bowls on a table or counter and have water in three of the bowls. Place two gummy bears in a bowl with water cover with a lid and place somewhere where it wont get disturbed. On another bowl with water sprinkle some salt into the bowl and stir until completely dissolved into the water place in two gummy bears and cover place near the water one. In the last bowl with water sprinkle in some baking soda and stir until dissolved, place in two gummy bears cover bowl and label, place next to the other two bowls. In the last empty bowl pour in some vinegar and place in the two gummy bears. Cover the bowl and label place next to the others.
Preform the experiment on the independent variable was the liquids the gummy bears were in which was water, salt water, baking soda water, and vinegar. Collect the results for each test by seeing how large the gummy bears got in each liquid compared to the original gummy bear.
Repeat the test 3 more times and find the average for the 4 tests.
Repeat the same procedure for the remaining independent variables: salt water, baking soda water, water, and vinegar.

Repeat the test 3 more times and find the average for the 4 tests.
Repeat the same procedure for the remaining independent variables: salt water, baking soda water, water, and vinegar.
Results: The average results for each independent variable are as follows: The gummy bear in the vinegar was the largest but when they were removed from the vinegar they lost their shape and were got able to measure the change. The water was the second largest and they kept the form they were originally in. The gummy bears that were in the salt water were almost the same shape as the just plain water, and the baking soda water gummy bears were the smallest.
Conclusion: The hypothesis was that if you soak a gummy bear in water for three days then the gummy bears will grow the largest out of all the liquids.
The results showed that the vinegar had gown the largest out all the other liquids.
Therefore the hypothesis was not supported.
Future Study: In the future I plan to have no further research unless I feel like eating a large gummy bear and not wanting to pay for the big one.
