Bubble Gum Lab
Part I:  Who can blow the biggest bubbles?

Experimental Question: Who is the best bubble blower in your group?

Process:
1.    Combine into group of 4
2.    Make a measuring device with string or paper clips.
3.    Each group member blows 10 bubbles while the other measure and record, in centimeters.
4.    Record this data as shown below.

Data and Graphs: (on graph paper)

a) data chart with you and your partners trials

b) chart showing the averages, minimum, maximum, and range for all group members

c) bar graph of the average bubble size for all group members

d) line graph of your own trial data results





Part II:  Gum Comparison Test

Problem or Question:  Which of three types (Bazooka, Double Bubble & Bubble Yum) of gum is the best for blowing bubbles?

Hypothesis:  (Don’t forget to include your prediction and why)

Data and Graphs:  (on graph paper)

a.    chart with showing the trials for all three (or four) types of gum

b.    chart showing the averages, minimum, maximum, and range for all types of gum

c.    line graph showing the trial data for all types of gum (1 graph with 1 line for each type of gum

d.    bar graph showing both the averages from your group for each type of gum and the averages from the class for each type of gum
