The Gummy Bear Experiment, BrainPop Density Video & The LHC

Sacrificing Gummies in the name of science - What happens to the mass, volume and density of a gummy bear when you leave it in water overnight? Many of you hypothesized correctly!! The gummy bear absorbed water. It's volume (the space it takes up) increased, it's mass (the amount of matter) increased, and the density......DECREASED (for most of us anyway). Why? Because the gummy bear absorbed water - and water's density is less than the Gummy Bear's.

This is a great video to watch if you are having difficulty understanding and calculating density
