Gummi Bear Results

So, we have completed the actual Gummi Bear Lab and have all this data.  What do we do with it?  We graph it!  We write conclusions with it!  Then, we can discuss it and any patterns we may have seen.  So, that's what we did today.  It is due by Wednesday if not completed in class.  Each student is responsible for a data table, an investigative plan, a conclusion and a graph each.  We are heading into our next lab which is the bubble gum lab!  Remember, I need gum for the class to make it a go!

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.

Gummi(y) Bear Lab Prep

Gummi Bears are here in Rm. 106 waiting to volunteer their efforts for the benefit of the student's learning!  Thank you gummi's.  So, today in class we wrote a procedure based on the investigative question:

How does the amount of time in water affect the gummy bear's density?

In order to do the lab, the procedure paper MUST be completed and accurate.  Without this, you will not perform the lab.  Homework was also assigned.  It is to write a conclusion based on the data given.  It is below along with a Investigative Plan paper if you need a copy.
