  1. Science Fair

  2. Big Question • The purpose of my experiment was to find which gum type lasts the longest. • The reason I did this experiment is because my family chews a lot of gum so I wanted to see what type was best.

  3. Hypothesis • My hypothesis was that Juicy Fruit would last the longest. • I thought this because it was the type I got that had sugar in it.

  4. Interesting Facts • 1.Gum with sugar is more likely to last longer. • 2.The reason gum loses its flavor is that when the sugar crystals dissolve there goes your flavor. • 3.Most gum is sugar free these days. • 4.most chewing gum comes in sticks. • 5.Another fact I learned is most gum is in wrappers not tins.

  5. Materials Juicy Fruit Gum 5 Gum Timer/ Clock Step 1: gather materials Step 2: Start chewing first piece of gum, and start timer. Step 3: After the flavor is gone record ending time. Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have chewed one of each piece of gum. Step 5: Average all data for one type. Variables: Gum type, Sugar content, and control was juicy Fruit. Experiment

  6. Observations • I noticed that the Juicy Fruit lasted a lot longer than the 5. • I think the reason is the sugar content. • I also noticed the averages of the Juicy Fruit were a lot lower than the actual times. • Another thing I noticed was some of the different people had drastically different times.

  7. Data in Minutes

  8. Analysis • I analyzed that it doesn’t matter the age it only matters your taste.

  9. Conclusion • Yes, my experiment did test my hypothesis very well. • I know because now I know what type of gum flavor lasts the longest. • My hypothesis was correct, and the types of gum you use. • Now I wonder if different flavors of the same type would be very different.
