The document describes an experiment on egg osmosis where two eggs are placed in different solutions - one in water and one in corn syrup. It is hypothesized that the egg in water will increase in size due to water entering the egg, while the egg in corn syrup may shrink. Observations showed the egg in water became transparent and soft while the corn syrup egg turned brown and soft. In conclusion, the water egg increased in size due to higher water concentration pulling water inside, while the corn syrup egg shrank from lower concentration pushing water out.

1. Egg Osmosis
Experiment
Melody Morrison
8-14

2. Purpose
• Place eggs in vinegar to
help remove shell.
• Measure the weight of the
egg using balance
• Measure size of egg using
measuring tape or string.
• Place 1 egg in water
• Place other egg in corn
syrup.
• Weigh and measure after
24 hours.

3. Materials
• Vinegar
• Corn syrup
• 2 eggs
• Balance
• Measuring tape
• String
• Water
• 2 beakers

4. Hypothesis- Water Egg
• Wont change color.
Because it doesn’t have
bleach.
• Will change the weight.
• Will change the size.

5. Hypothesis- Corn Syrup
• Will change color. Because
of bleach.
• Wont Change in size.
• Wont change the weight.
• Might shrink.

6. Observation
• Bubbles come off.
• White foam at the top.
• The skin is gone
• Its jellylike and squishy.
• After the egg in water
was in there it looked
transparent and soft.
• After the egg was in he
corn syrup it looked
brown, soft, and squishy.

7. Conclusion
• The water egg had a
higher concentration.
• And the corn syrup had
lower concentration
• I was kind of right with
everything.
• The corn syrup egg is
smaller
• The water egg is bigger The water egg got larger because water entered
the egg. Thus is due to the fact
