2. PURPOSE
• Place eggs in vinegar for 24 hours to
remove shell.
• Measure weight of egg with balance.
• Measure size of egg using string and
ruler.
• Place one egg in corn syrup and place
other in water.
• Weigh and measure eggs again.

3. HYPOTHESIS WATER
•
EGG
I thought water egg would get bigger

Corn Syrup Weight – Weight-
71.3m 48.8lbs
Size – 17 cm Size- 13cm
Water Egg Weight – 62.2 Weight – 77.0
Size – 14 Size - 18.5

7. VISUAL OBSERVATIONS
• What I got right is the Water egg got
bigger.
• Shell came off 24 hours after vinegar
• Egg got deflated after 24 hours corn
syrup

corn syrup egg.
• The corn syrup egg got smaller
• had a lower concentration than the
water egg
• The corn syrup egg looked looked
soggy
• The water egg looked larger.

9. CONCLUSION
