=__ Our Gummy Bear Experiment __= ==== This is our gummy bear experiment. It took a lot of work and learning to make this page. On this page their is every thing you need to know about gummy bears and it walks you through every step of the experiment. If you try this experiment always remember to record your data. It also provides you with some pictures of what happened to the gummy bears.enjoy the experiment! HAVE FUN!!!! ====



==** __Emily Prediction__ I predict that when we put gummy bears in tap water the color will fade. When we put Gummy Bears in salt water that the salt will effect it and it will dissolve. When we put gummy bears in distilled water it will make it grow and collect the water. **==

What happened in my investigation?
== When we put the gummy bears in the distilled water the gummy bear expanded the most. When we put the gummy bears in the tap water the gummy bear grew the middle amount. When we put the gummy bear in the salt water it grew the least. ==

What happened in each step of my Experiment?
== Step 1 of my experiment gather the materials the materials were easy to find. In Step 2 the the gummy bears are measured in millimeters. The distilled measured at 11 mm in height 13 mm in width and 19 mm in length. The salt water measured 11 mm in height 10 mm in width and 20 mm in length. The tap water measured 11 mm in height 10 mm in width and 15 mm in length(before put in water) Step 3 put one of the gummy bears in the distilled water another in the salt water and the last one in tap water. Step 4 wait 24 hours and then measure it Distilled measured 25 in height 35 mm in width and 18 mm in length. The salt water measured 15 mm in height 25 mm in width and 15 mm in height. The tap water measured 15 mm in height 27 mm in width and 18 mm in length Step 5 After 48 hours in the water the gummy bear measured in at distilled length 35 mm height 25 mm and width 25mm. The tap water length 30 mm height 18mm width 22 mm. The salt water length 25 mm height 15 mm and width 18mm. ==

Why did it do that?
== The gummy bears expanded because the main ingredients in the gummy bears are gelatin and starch. When these ingredients are mixed with water they make the gummy bear absorb water like sponges. This makes them very delicate. ==

**Polymers ** ** By: Emily, Annika, and Ellen **


 * __What is a Polymer ? __**
 * A polymer is between a solid and a liquid.
 * Polymers are very very long chains of molecules.
 * There are more than 1,000 atoms in a polymer.
 * //“poly” //- means many (in Greek)
 * //“mer”- //means part or segment
 * The prefix “poly-“ means //many//. The Greek root “meros” means //part//.
 * The word //polymer// literally means //many parts//.
 * A polymer is made up of many monomers
