Gummy Bear Experiment

Lesson Plan - Get It!

Audio:

• Did you ever try a science experiment?
• What was it like?
• Did you get the results you expected?

Share your experience with your parent or teacher.

In this lesson, you will conduct an experiment just like a scientist does! Are you ready to get started? Great! Gather the supplies below:

• pack of gummy bears
• milk
• salt
• sugar
• vinegar
• baking soda
• seven clear cups
• water
• tablespoon
• paper
• pencil

Once you have your materials ready, you will need to find a way to collect your data (information). Follow the directions below:

• Number your paper down the left side from 1 to 7. Leave about an inch of space between each number.
• Copy the following labels next to each number. For example, write the word "milk" next to the number 1:
  1. milk
  2. salt
  3. sugar
  4. vinegar
  5. baking soda
  6. apple juice
  7. water

• Place a gummy bear next to each number and label. Try placing a different color gummy bear next to each label. For example, place a red gummy bear next to the word "milk," and a green gummy bear next to the word "salt."

• Do you have all seven of your labels and seven gummy bears on your paper?

Great! Hang on!

In the Got It? section, you will make scientific predictions!
