Kia ora, Today is another day of learning about Gummy Bear Osmosis this time we are going to be looking at how they have changed over the time period of a week, We are mostly looking at how much water has been absorbed and what effect that had on the water and the gummy its self.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 7 and in 2021 I will be a year 8. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.
