- ask a question: What happens to gummy bears when they are placed in water overnight?
- form a hypothesis: The gummy bear will grow larger because it will absorb the water.
- test the hypothesis (experiment): Place one gummy bear in a cup of water and leave it for 24 hours. Measure its size before and after.
- make observations and record results: The gummy bear became much bigger, softer, and more translucent. Its height and width increased significantly.
- draw a conclusion: The gummy bear absorbed water, causing it to swell. This supports the hypothesis that gummy bears grow when soaked in water.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of science experiments worksheet.
