TITLE: THE BUBBLE GUM LAB REPORT
Introduction:
THE QUESTION I HAVE IS WHAT HAPPENS TO GUMS
MASS THE MORE YOU CHEW IT? THIS PROBLEM IS
INTERESTING BECAUSE I USE TO LIKE TO CHEWING
GUM AND I WANT TO FIND OUT HOW FOOD CHANGES
IN YOUR BODY.
Hypothesis: DID YOU THINK THE BUBBLE GUMS MASS
WOULD INCREASE, DECREASE, OR STAY THE SAME?
WHY? I THINK THE BUBBLE GUMS MASS WILL
DECREASE BECAUSE THE MORE U CHEW IT THE
MORE THE SUGAR WASTES.
Materials: WE NEEDED A TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE AND
GUM.
Procedure:
1.WE USED A TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE 2 MEASURES
THEN RECORD THE MASS OF A PIECE BUBBLE GUM
BEFORE IT WAS CHEWED.
2.THEN WE CHEWED THE GUM FOR 1 MINUTE.
3.THEN WE PUT THE GUM ON ITS WRAPPER AND
MEASURED IT AND RECORDED IT.
4.THEN WE CHEWED THE GUM FOR 2 MINUTES.
5. THEN WE PUT THE GUM ON ITS WRAPPER AND
MEASURED IT AND RECORDED IT AGAIN.
6. THEN WE CHEWED THE GUM FOR 3 MINUTES.
7. THEN WE PUT THE GUM ON ITS WRAPPER AND
MEASURED IT AND RECORDED IT AGAIN.

CONCLUSION: TO CONCLUDE LOOKING AT THE
PROVES THAT THIS EXPERIMENT DOES SUPPORT MY
HYPOTHESIS.THE MASS OF THE GUM DOES
DECREASE THE MORE YOU CHEWED IT.THE MORE
YOU CHEW IT ALL OF THE SUGAR GOS AWAY SO
THAT MEANS THAT THE GUM STARTS LOSING THE
MAIN INGREDIENT.
