Gummy Bear Osmosis Lab Purpose: To investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Gummy Bears are made of gelatin and sugar. Gelatin is a polymer that forms large three-dimensional matrices that give structural support to jellies and jams. Hypothesis: circle the response that you believe will happen. Record in lab journal â¢ If I place Gummy Bears in tap water, then the size of the bears will (increase, decrease, remain the same). â¢ If I place Gummy Bears in distilled water, then the size of the bears will (increase, decrease, remain the same). Materials: â¢ 2 plastic cups (8 oz) â¢ 2 aluminum screens (4âx4â) â¢ Distilled water
