Which One Makes The Best Bubble?

Chewing gum experiment

You will be in groups of 3 students to test the which gum is the best for bubble, stretch and taste.

Aim: To see which bubble gum makes the best Bubbles, has the best elasticity and keeps its taste for the longest.

Hypothesis: I think that the Extra will make the largest bubble and have the longest stretch. The Extra will have the longest taste.

Equipment:
  • 3 different chewing gum brands
  • stop watch
  • ruler
  • graph to record detail.
Method:
  1. Place the first piece of chewing gum in your mouth and time how long it takes to keep its taste.
  2. Chew the gum and record this time on the chart.
  3. Using the same piece of gum blow a bubble. Record on the chart as 'no bubble', 'small', 'medium', 'large'.
  4. Test for elasticity. Keep all of the gum in your mouth and see how long you can stretch it. Measure it and record its length.
