Gummy Bear Science

Essential Question:  How do we solve problems by using the Scientific Method?
What solution will make a gummy bear expand the most?
Team Gibbas students practiced using the Scientific Method and conducted an experiment to test which solution lemon juice, water, salt water, or vinegar would make a gummy bear expand the most.  Each student generated a hypothesis based on their prior knowledge of each solution then conducted an experiment to test their hypotheses.

So, what solution made the gummy bear expand the most?  Ask Team Gibbas students!
