Science Experiment

Title - Gummy Worm Experiment

Purpose: What do you want to learn/find out?

I want to find out why and how the worm juice actually forms into the gummy worms.

Hypothesis: Try to predict the answer to the problem. Another term for hypothesis is ‘educated guess’. This is usually stated like ” If I…(do something) then…(this will occur)

I thought that the liquids would just sit on top of each other and they would barely have contact.

Materials: List everything you will need to conduct your experiment.

Small Eco Cup Large Eco cup Solution Sodium Alginate originated from seaweed(Worm Juice) Red, Blue and Yellow. Pipettes Worm Activator Calcium Chloride

Experiment procedure: The fun part! Design a test or procedure to confirm or disprove your hypothesis. Write down each step so that someone else could do the same experiment.

Step 1: Put Calcium Chloride in water then mix until all is dissolved Step 2: When the water is ready you can pour or use your pipette to grab any color of worm Juice and watch the scientific magic happen Step 3: Play with the non-edible gummy worms

Analysis/Data: Record what happened during the experiment.

The Sodium Alginate (Worm Juice) mixed with the water that had Calcium Chloride and then the Sodium Alginate would not only dye the water but also create non edible Gummy Worms.

Conclusion:Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct.

My thought of the ending result was wrong, the outcome was a lot different than I thought it was going to be. I expected the two liquids to barely touch, I guess I might’ve had a better Idea of what it was gonna end like If I actually used the title of the experiment.
