Substances in the gummy bear that give it solidity are: glucose, starch and

Gelatin. All of these substances can absorb (form some interaction with)

water. However, while water can be absorbed, the starch and gelatin are

prevented from dissolving in water. So the water swells the gummy bear rather

than dissolves it.

Think of a very dry sponge such as used for washing dishes. In this form

it is

a small, hard material. However, it is porous and water can go into those

pores. When water enters the pores, the sponge gets enlarged, and becomes

flexible.

How do you explode gummy bears?

To explode gummy bears, you can submerge them in a solution of baking soda and vinegar. The reaction between the baking soda (a base) and vinegar (an acid) produces carbon dioxide gas, which can cause the gummy bears to swell and eventually burst. Alternatively, you can freeze gummy bears and then drop them on a hard surface, which may also cause them to break apart. Always be cautious and conduct such experiments in a safe environment.
