MEAsUREMENTs
• Using a 12 inch ruler, we are going to
measure each gummy bear before
placing it in the different liquid.
(It’s ok if they are the same measurements)
Follow the
Procedures
Day 1
1. Choose 4 gummy bears and measure the length, the width, and height.
Record the measurements for Day 1.

2. Pour ½ cup of salt water, baking soda, water, and vinegar in 4 separate
small cups.

3. Place the small cups on the Gummy Bear Lab observation sheet.

4. Drop 1 gummy bear in each small cup and let the cups sit for one day.

• Let the Gummy Bears cups sit

overnight and observe any
changes that occur.
