Bubble Gum Grossness!!! 3/8/20

In science class today we did a lab. The lab was about matter, volume and density. We used bubble gum for our dependent variable. The time chewed was our independent variable. Lizzie and I were partners for this lab. She chewed the gum while I timed it. We chose to chew the gum for two minutes, other groups chose three minutes, or two minutes, just like us!

To find the matter you have to weigh it on a scale. Matter is the amount of mass something has. To find the amount of volume something has you have to put that something in a marked cylinder and see how much that object displaces the water. Volume is how much space something takes up when in a controlled area. To find the density of an object you divide the mass with the volume. Density is the degree of compactness of an object. This was a very fun lab! Thank you Shane!
