Science behind Growing Gummy Bears
• The gelatin in Gummy Bears is like the cell membrane of cells.
• When the Gummy Bear is placed in water, what takes place?
When the Gummy Bears are placed in water, the water molecules move into the pores because there are fewer water molecules in the gelatin than in the water. Think of the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration as a balance. This process is called osmosis. Osmosis also explains why the Gummy Bears grew larger in the
water.
