It expands. Get bigger over a period of time.
the quantity of gummy bears
The gummy bear would get smaller and shrink because the salt absorbs the water in the gummy bear
If you have already soaked it in tap or distilled water, It is very large. Soaking it in salt water will cause it to shrink because there is now a high percentage of water in it, And not a lot of salt. The salt from the water gets absorbed by the bear. Now, the water percentage has decreased, So it is not as large. However, the gummi bear will never change back into its origonal form. -Claire
the egg becomes smaller
When a gummy bear is soaked in sugar water, it will absorb the water through a process called osmosis. As a result, the gummy bear will swell in size and become softer as it absorbs the sugar water.

In the gummy bear lab, the gummy bear soaked in salt water typically shrinks and becomes firmer. This reaction occurs due to osmosis, where water moves out of the bear into the saltier solution, causing the gummy bear to lose moisture and decrease in size. The salt in the water creates a hypertonic environment, pulling water molecules away from the gummy bear. As a result, the gummy bear's texture changes, and it appears smaller and denser.
they grow bigger in distilled!! i just did this project in school.
Distilled water means purified and clean. It is used to instead of tap water because in tap water there can be dirt and particles that can be a contaminating if put on a swab and used in the human body.

distilled water does not contain ions, without ions it can not produce and electrical charge. In other words DISTILLED WATER does not conduct electricity.
An egg placed in distilled water will expand more than an egg placed in the salt solution because thee water concentration of the water in the beaker is greater the the water concentration of the egg.
