Here is my background research:
When you put an egg in tap water it sinks, this is because the density of the egg is higher then the density of the tap water. But if you add enough salt the egg will float, this is because if you get the right amount of salt in the water the salt gives the tap water more density so water is higher in density then the egg. Water has a density of one. An egg has 1.031 g/cm3 density.
Credit:
Increasing the density of the water through adding salt will mean that the egg will float.
Here are the materials that I will need:
What I will need for my experiment:
- 5 eggs
- Salt
- 5 cups
- Water
- Measuring cup
Here is my Method:
I will have 5 eggs and 5 cups of water. The 5 cups will be numbered 1 - 5, in the 5 cups of water 1 will have no salt, 2 will have ½ a cup, 3 will have 1 cup of salt, 4 will have 1 ½ cups of salt and 5 will have 2 cups of salt.
I will have 5 eggs and 5 cups of water. The 5 cups will be numbered 1 - 5, in the 5 cups of water 1 will have no salt, 2 will have ½ a cup, 3 will have 1 cup of salt, 4 will have 1 ½ cups of salt and 5 will have 2 cups of salt.
I will leave them in the water for one hour.
When one hour is done I will see out of the 5 cup which one is floating of not.
I can't wait to start my experiment.
Have you done an Science experiment? If you have what was it?
Hi Evelyn! I liked how you presented your science experiment, it looks very well thought out and interesting. Your post reminded me of when we recently did this experiment at school. How do you think the experiment is going to go? If you have already done it, did the results surprise you?
