Our hypothesis was that sugared Gum would stretch farther than sugar free gum because of the ingredients in a piece of sugared gum. After collaborating on a few different variables, we chose to weigh each piece of gum at .1 ounces, and chew 1 minute before stretching. We set the tape measure and stretched five pieces of sugared gum, and 5 pieces of sugar free gum. All data was collected and recorded on a bar graph. It became quite apparent that on average, the sugared gum did indeed stretch farther than the sugar free gum. This was a great lesson that I intend on referencing when choosing a science fair topic!
