Procedure: • Take four pieces of different kinds of gum. • Each student chews a piece for three minutes. During the last minute, practice making bubbles. • Students will blow a bubble and measure, then record the results in a data table. Pair up to measure the diameter of your bubble (in cm). Use the beaker tongs and a ruler.
