Experiments:) In class Mukda, Jaycie, and I did a experiment on orbies. Our question was why do the orbies get bigger? They get bigger because they are sucking up the liquid and expanding. We used milk, orange juice, powerade, tea and cherry limeade. We put 5 orbies in each viles. I didn't think that the orbies would grow in the milk and the orange juice but they all grew at least a little bit in every vile. I saw that the orbies in the tea were more oval instead off round, and the orbies in the milk were more clear, in the tea they turned brown. The orbies turn the color of the liquid they were in. I understand orbies are not living but they just expand and absorb the liquid they are in. I don't get how they absorb the liquid. When I feel the orbies before and after they have been on the water they don't feel like the type of thing to absorb liquids.
