How Much Sugar is in Bubble Gum Measuring Mass Scientific Method Experiment

Created by

In this Activity, students practice measuring the mass of bubble gum before and after its chewed, then make some calculations to determine the percentage of sugar in the gum- definitely a crowd pleaser! This activity is great for everyone- students get to chew gum and teachers get students to practice measuring mass, and calculating averages and percents!I think real BUBBLE GUM like double bubble works best for this!

Kit-Kat Density Lab

Created by

It's All Science

How better to learn about density then with candy bars? Kit-Kat bars are peanut-free, even though no one eats them in class. I purchase mini, regular and king-sized Kit Kat bars for the class. This lab allows students to explore density. In groups of 4, they measure the candy bar's length, width and height with the ruler. They measure its mass with the triple beam balance. Using a calculator, they find the volume of each candy bar and then the density. What they find is that each candy bar
