1. Find the mass of each piece of
gum. Record it in the data table.
2. Pick one piece of gum. Blow 10
bubbles, measure, and record them
in your data table.
3. Repeat step 2 for the other two
pieces of gum.
4. Determine the average size of the
bubble’s blown for each piece of
gum in your small group.
5. Report your averages to the class.
Record other groups’ data. Find
the overall averages for the class.
6. Create a graph from the class data.
Use it to find the best gum for
blowing bubbles.
Results
Big League Gum blew the biggest
bubbles. It had an average bubble
size of 3.8 cm. Super Bubble had an
average of 2 cm. Bazooka only had
an average size of 2.4 cm.
Conclusion
My hypothesis was wrong. Super
Bubble only had an average bubble
size of 2 cm. Big League Chew was
able to blow the biggest bubble.
