• Because the results might be surprising

• Because it involves real bears

Which of the following is NOT a material needed for the experiment?

• Salt

• Vinegar

• Sugar

Why should the containers used in the experiment be microwave-safe?

• To avoid melting

• To ensure they don't break

• To prevent chemical reactions

• To avoid metal contamination

What is the purpose of using gummy bears of the same color in the experiment?

• To differentiate between bears

• To make it easier to eat them later

• To ensure consistent results

• To make the experiment more colorful

What is the first step in setting up the experiment?

• Microwaving the containers

• Adding sugar to the water

• Filling containers with water
