The document describes an experiment where eggs were placed in corn syrup, vinegar, and water to observe osmosis. The egg in corn syrup decreased in weight and size as water left the egg, while the egg in water increased as water entered the egg. The conclusion is that osmosis caused water to move into the egg in water but out of the egg in corn syrup due to differences in solute concentration between the eggs and their solutions.

1. EGG OSMOSIS
EXPERIMENT
JADA GIBBS 8-17

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

3. HYPOTHESIS
• Corn Syrup egg
Weigh: more
Size: more
Look: larger
• Water egg
Weigh: more
Size: more
Look: larger

4. MATERIALS
• What we needed to
do this
experiment.........
• Eggs
• Beakers
• Corn syrup
• Vinegar
• Water
• Balance
• String
• Tape measure

6. CONCLUSION
• Water egg
• Look right
• Size right
• Weight right
• Corn syrup egg
• Look wrong
• Size wrong
• Weight wrong
• The corn syrup egg got smaller
because the water in the egg
escaped from the egg and the
water egg got larger due to
the water going onto the egg.
