LAB ACTIVITY:
Chewing Gum
QUESTION: HYPOTHESIS: (Write your own in an
"if...,then..." statement)
CALCULATIONS: First, for each stick of gum, determine the change in mass ( mass) by
subtracting the end mass from the initial mass.
Second, to determine the % change in mass, divide the change in mass by the initial mass. Then
multiply your answer by 100.
Brand 1: Brand 2: Brand 3:
ANALYSIS:
1) Create a BAR GRAPH comparing the “before” and “after” mass for
each brand of gum.
2) Make a LINE GRAPH to show the change in the gums’ mass over the
time chewed. Put all 3 brands of gum on the same graph. Use a
different color for each line.
