The purpose for the experiment was to find out if gummy bears would grow in liquids heated to different temperatures. The method was to heat the sprite and drop gummy bears of the same color into the liquid. The same was done for cold water and room temperature water. The experiment was conducted with Swedish fish as well. It was hypothesized that the gummy bears that are heated would be the biggest. This was proven to be wrong as the room temperature gummy bears grew the most. The heated gummy bears actually melted a little bit and the other bears became very clear and gelatinous. Some of the bears had even fallen apart! When put in the incubator the gummy bears melted but the fish shrunk back to normal size.

 * ABSTRACT **

For the first experiment it was hypothesized that gummy bears would grow the most in hot water. This was proven to be wrong as room temperature grew 4.5 cm while heated water grew only 3.5cm. the second experiment the gummy bear were expected to shrink but instead they shrunk. The Swedish although did shrink back to their original size. The dismembered gummies hypothesis was that they would grow the same amount as the whole ones. This was proven to be correct. Some improvements that could be made are to have the gummies in water for longer and to try the same experiment with different gummies
