June was beyond excited to participate in her school's science fair this year. In fact, she obsessed over choosing the perfect project for weeks in advance. Finally, her dad helped her decide on this growing gummy bears experiment.
June put gummy bears into 9 different solutions to study the effects of osmosis on the bears overnight. She learned all about osmosis and how some solutions have more or less solvents than the gummy bears, which made some grow and some shrink. The results were also different for different colors of gummy bears. She also learned how to make graphs to chart her data. And mom got to break out her silhouette to fancy up the display board.
Other than the paper bear cutting, June did the whole project herself. Mom and Dad just took the pictures. I think we have a budding scientist on our hands!

Love!!!!!!!!!!
Can you send me specific details of how she did the experiment? My daughter is in 4th grade gifted and wants to do this. We love your board! This is awesome! I just want more details. It's hard to read the different charts and pages you have on the board zooming in. Thank you for any extra info you can give us. It's due May 8th.
