At, first i chewed sugarless bubble gum and i thought it would weigh more, because i thought my siliva would put more weight onto the gum, but it accualy stayed the same. It weighed in at 1/4 ounce.


Cathy, UT | Chew that Gum
Ben you put the sugar it weighed about 1/2 ounce right and then you chewed it then it would get more hevier because when you chew it your spit gets in it and then you said it was 1/4 ounce so it will get more hevier.

anicia, FL | Chew that Gum

Sainty, NC | Chew that Gum
Sugar is a major ingredient n gum,and the chewing process allows the gum to dissolve in your saliva. When you swallow, the sugar goes down your throat.This makes the gum weigh less than what you started with. The little bit of saliva that mixes in with the chewed up gum adds only part of the weight back. So therefore and in conclusion, it weighed less


gabriel, AL | Chew that Gum
it was cool


Kate, WA | Chew that Gum
I thouht the gum would be lighter because I swallowed the sugar. But it was not!


emily, PA | Chew that Gum
wow it is cool hi hi hi hi hi


abra, | Chew that Gum
i gess it would weigh less. but at the end it weighed more .


vanessa, CA | Chew that Gum
When I chewed the gum it whas heaveir, because it was in a ball and when I blew it up it weighed less. I think because when you blow it up it weighs less like a baloon, and it has air so it weighs less.


jill, OH | Chew that Gum
it wieghs more because theres spit and slobber on it


jacqueline, UT | Chew that Gum
how to make a fossil.get some clay roll the clay stick your hand in the clay take out your hand and this is a one minite fossil.if you want you could dig a hole and put the one minite old fossil in the hole then years go by then your one minite old fossil hardens.it will become into a fossil.then scintists could find your fossil or you could find your harden fossil may be.dont forget to let your fossil dry.

Kristopher, CA | Chew that Gum
Before chewing, my gum weighed 15.0 grams. After 10 minutes it weighed 4.4 grams. It lost 10.6 grams. I then weighed 10.6 grams of sugar to see how much sugar was in the gum. YIKES! Maybe sugar free gum is a good option from now on.

Fields School, 4th-8th gr, OR | Chew that Gum
3/5 of our class hypothesized that the gum would weigh less, because it would lose it's sugar content. The other 2/5 predicted that it would wiegh more, due to the additon of the saliva. However, when we gathered our data, the results proved that the gum weighed less, after being chewed. Now we wonder if their would be a diffence, had we used sugar free gum?


Sophie, NY | Chew that Gum
The surgar free gum wieghed the least because there was no surgar in it. The gum with sugar in it still had sugar so it wieghed more. Thank you for listening to me! I love you all and have a good day!


alyssa, TX | Chew that Gum

natalie, FL | Chew that Gum
