This document describes an experiment on egg osmosis. The purpose is to observe osmosis in eggs by placing one egg in water and another in corn syrup, then measuring changes in weight and size. The hypothesis is that the corn syrup egg will get lighter and smaller as water moves out of the egg into the higher concentrated corn syrup, while the water egg may get heavier and larger as water moves into the lower concentrated egg. After 24 hours, observations showed the corn syrup egg deflated and got smaller, while the water egg got heavier and larger, supporting the hypotheses.

1. Egg Osmosis
Experiment
By: Aaron Lapuz 8-73

2. Purpose
O The purpose for this is
to observe osmosis in
a cell
O 1.Place eggs in
vinegar, To remove
shell
O 2. Measure weight or
egg using a balance.

3. Purpose
O 3.Measure the size
of egg using
measuring tape.
O 4. Place one egg in
water, place the
other egg in corn
syrup.
O 5.Measure egg
again.

4. Hypothesis
Water Egg
O Weight-I think the
weight will be lighter
O Size-I think the size will
be smaller
O Look-The egg will
probably look like a
original egg

5. Hypothesis 2
Corn Syrup Egg
O Weight- I think that the
weight of the egg might
be lighter
O Size-I think that the
size will be smaller
O Look- The egg will look
like a weird egg

6. Materials
O Eggs
O Beakers
O Balance
O String
O Measuring Tape
O Vinegar
O Corn Syrup
O Water

7. Observation
Corn Syrup
After the egg sat in corn
syrup for 24 hours it got
demented and deflated
Water Egg
After the egg sat in water for 24
hours it got heavier and the
size got bigger.
Vinegar Egg
After 24 hours there was
some foam at the top of the
egg.

8. Observation 2

9. Conclusion
Corn Syrup
•Got smaller
• Egg went out the egg
• Egg had Higher concentration
• Water moves
Water egg
•
Got larger
• water egg had lower concentration
• Water moves from high concentration to
low

10. Hypothesis
Corn Syrup Egg Water egg
O Right O Wrong
Got lighter didn’t get lighter
O Right O Wrong
Got smaller Didn’t get smaller
O Right O Right
Got weird look the same
