gummy bear and control gummy bear
Include before and after drawing of gummy bear in
salt or sugar solution
Chart- you can attach your lab sheet for me to see chart
Graph
Bar graph vs line graph????
Only graph experiment bear
Use your graphing rules
CONCLUSION – FOLLOW RERUN ON PAGE 40 OF
NOTEBOOK
RECALL
EXPLAIN
RESULTS- have to talk about hypothesis
UNCERTAINITY- DID YOUR GUMMY BEAR
FALL APART? WERE YOUR MEASUREMENTS
