So we did a science experiment last night/this morning. The kids really enjoyed it... here's the short version...
measure the gummy bear and make an outline of it on paper
put gummy bear in a cup and cover with water. What do you think it will do if left overnight?
measure it and make outline the next morning... what happened to it?
The explanation is OSMOSIS ... The gummy bear is relatively dry, so the water travels into the gummy to even out the water concentration.
If you google "grow a gummy bear" you come up with some interesting links about this, such as this one...
"Gummy Bears in Water"
My kids (age 4-8) really enjoyed this...
Happy Homeschooling!
