As you chew the gum, your saliva dissolves some or most of the sugar in the gum. You could try the experiment!

You need:

  • Gum
  • Beam Balance (to measure the weight of the gum)
  • Timer
  1. So chew for 2 minutes. Then measure the mass.
  2. Then chew for 4 minutes. The measure the mass.
  3. See and record the difference!
To make it more accurate, involve 4 people into your gum chewing experiment. Then record the mass and compare. You should get the mean,average by adding all the mass and dividing it by the number of people who chewed the gum.

Is a chewed bubble gum a solid?

yes it is. The definition of a solid is a substance with a definite mass and volume and shape. A liquid has a definite mass and volume, but changes shape to fit that of it's container. A gas has a definite mass, but no definite shape or volume. While chewed bubble gum is a little amorphous, it is technically a solid because, while it does change shape a little, it does not continue to stretch itsef thin until it has reached the edges of it's container (i.e. the room you are in or the furthest reaches of your mouth). Also, the chewed gum has a definite shape, it is an ameboid shape, but it is a shape nontheless.
