The document describes an experiment on egg osmosis. An egg was placed in vinegar to remove its shell, then its initial weight and size were measured. It was then placed in water and corn syrup. It was hypothesized that in water, the egg would lose weight and shrink due to osmosis, while in corn syrup it would gain weight and stay the same size. Observations showed the egg in water gained weight and size due to gaining water, while the egg in corn syrup lost weight and shrank by losing water to the higher concentrated corn syrup through osmosis.

1. Egg Osmosis
Experiment
Hendrix de Guzman
8-17

2. Purpose
1. Put it in vinegar to
remove shell
2. Measure the egg’s
weight with a
balance
Osmosis happening in a cell

3. Purpose
3. Measure the egg’s size
(String & Measuring tape)
4. Place egg in water and
corn syrup.
5. Weigh and measure
the egg again

4. Hypothesis
 The egg will get heavier
 The egg will stay the
same size
 The egg will be brown
and sticky
Corn Syrup

5. Water
 The egg will weigh
less
 The egg will get
smaller
 The egg will stay the
same size
Hypothesis

6. Materials
1) Two eggs
2) Two beakers
3) Corn syrup
4) Vinegar (acid)
5) Water
6) Balance
7) Strings
8) Measuring tape

7. Observation
Before After

8. Conclusion
 Both eggs have an amount of water in them
 The egg in the water had become larger
 It had larger concentration that water. Water
moved from high concentration to low
concentration
WATER EGG

9. Conclusion(2)
 The eggs in the syrup
had become smaller
 The egg had higher
concentration of water
than corn syrup
 The water from the egg
moved from lower
concentration
(Water)to higher
concentration (Higher)

10. Conclusion
Hypothesis
Water egg
Size – wrong. Got
heavier
Weight – wrong. Got
bigger
Look – wrong. Got
fatter
Corn syrup egg
 Size- wrong
 Got smaller
 Weight – wrong
 Got lighter
 Look- wrong
 Turned brown
