Chew that Gum




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.


Kathryn‚ WI | Chew that Gum
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.


kendall 5th grade‚ IL | Chew that Gum
the gum weighed heaver because it had all of my spit in it! And before i put it in my mouth it was well a dry piece of bubble gum!


rara‚ PA | Chew that Gum
when you chew the gum you add spit to it so it should get heavier


DragonflyTV | Chew that Gum
Have you tried the experiment? It sounds like you might be making predictions. That's a good idea, but then you should try the actual gum chewing and weighing!

Spencer‚ MO | Chew that Gum

jill‚ ohio | Chew that Gum
it wieghs more because theres spit and slobber on it


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.


abra‚ US | Chew that Gum
i guessed it would weigh less. but at the end it weighed more .


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


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
