Scientific Method Bubble Gum Lab

Hypothesis: 

Bubble size relates to how far gum can stretch because the gum can’t increase in size if it can’t stretch.

Conclusion: 

In conclusion, the amount of stretchability reflects how big the bubble is. If the gum doesn’t have much stretchability, the bubble size is small because it’s hard for it to increase in size if it’s stretchability is small. Whereas gum that has lots of stretchability, the bubble size is bigger.

List 5 variables that may affect the outcome of this experiment: 

  1. The time on how long you chew it
  2. Size of gum
  3. The person who’s chewing
  4. Saliva
  5. Density of the gum

Explain how the data you collected can be described as both qualitative and quantitative: 

It can be described as qualitative by the stretchability and it can be quantitative by the size/mass and the amount of density in the gum.

Were SI Units used in this lab? Explain.

Yes, we used cm and m for measuring the bubble size and how far it can stretch.

In conclusion the Hubba Bubba made a bigger bubble than the Big League because it was more sturdy so it would expand more without popping.
