All Gummi Bears Into the Pool

Today was the first day of the Gummi Bear Lab.  We had to measure the volume and mass of the gummi bears and then calculate density.  Then the gummi bears were placed in a cup of water for different amounts of time.  Once the given time has elapsed that each group decided upon, they will then calculate the density of the gummi bears again and see what change, if any there was for the gummi bears.
