Does Gummy Bear grow in salt water or normal water?
There is more salt molecules in the water mixture than there are in the gummy. The water molecules will move towards the salt molecules to even out the number of water and salt molecules in the solution. That’s why the gummy bear in the salt water doesn’t grow that much if at all.
How long do you keep gummy bear in water?

The gummy bear we put in vinegar did expand, but lost all of its gummy bear shape and just became a blob. We believe that the acid in the vinegar dissolved the gummy bear completely.
Is the gummy bear experiment osmosis or diffusion?
Why a Gummy Bear? The Gummy Bear has a selectively permeable coating which will allow water molecules to diffuse across, but inhibiting other larger molecules. In this osmosis experiment the water molecules move into the bear, thus enlarging it.
Do Gummy Bears have cells?
As cool as it would be to have our gummy bears be made up of cells, they are not…. however, they did teach us a very important concept.
