1. The student conducted an experiment to see how eggs would change size and weight when placed in corn syrup or water for 24 hours. 2. Their hypothesis was that the corn syrup egg would stay the same size and weight, while the water egg would get larger and heavier. 3. After 24 hours, the corn syrup egg shrank in size and lost weight, while the water egg increased in size and gained weight, supporting the original hypothesis.
