Does chewing gum gain mass, lose mass, or does the mass stay the same after chewing?

Find out what chewing gum is made of, when it was first invented, who invented it, how bubble gum is made, learn about the chemistry of sugar……

If I chew gum for _______________, then its mass will ____________

Do an experiment to test your research problem. Develop a materials list. Decide upon a procedure. Choose equipment for measuring

Record the mass of the gum before and after chewing. What do the results show? Decide whether you will show the data in a table, chart or graph format.

What DOES happen to the mass of chewing gum as a result of chewing it? Why does the mass of gum change?

Try this experiment again as may times as possible. Yum!

Was your hypothesis correct? Pop!" Gum Yum Yum Bubble Gum
