Rocks, Minerals & Plate Tectonics Study Guide
Sam and his friends wanted to know which brand of gum would make the largest bubble. They chose
three different brands of bubble gum to determine which brand would produce the largest bubble. Sam
chewed each brand of gum for 10 minutes before measuring each bubble.
