This document describes an experiment on egg osmosis. Eggs were placed in either corn syrup or water, and their weights and sizes were measured before and after. As hypothesized, the egg in corn syrup shrank as water moved out into the higher concentrated syrup, while the egg in water swelled as water moved in from the lower concentrated water inside the egg. The purpose was to observe osmosis in a cell, and the results supported the hypothesis.

1. Egg Osmosis Experiment
Sarissa Lloyd-Pawlowich 8-16

2. Purpose
 To observe osmosis in a
cell.
 Steps
1. Place egg in vinegar to
remove the shell.
2. Measure weight of the
egg using balance.
3. Measure the size of the
eggs using string and
measuring tape.
4. Place one egg in corn
syrup , place other egg in
water.
5. Weigh and measure the
eggs again.

3. Hypothesis
Corn Syrup Egg
 Weight, size, looks
 Same size
 Same weight
Water Egg
 Weight, size, looks.
 Looks the same
 Larger size
 Larger weight
 Looks bigger

4. Materials
 Eggs
 Beakers
 Corn syrup
 Vinegar
 Water
 String
 Measuring Tape
 Balance

5. Observations
Before After  1. Bubbles rising from the
Corn W: 67g W: 44g egg.
Syrup Egg S: 161.1 S: 13.2 2. More bubble at top, egg
cm is floating.
3. Egg still floating, foam at
Water Egg W: 77.4 W:91.9 g top.
S: 16.0 cm S: 17.5 cm 4. No shell, squishy.
5. 24 hours in corn syrup,
egg is shrived up
6. 24 hours in water, egg is
looks larger and sunk.

6. Conclusion
 Egg in corn syrup got
smaller, water moved
out of the egg
because of lower
concentration.
 Egg in water got
bigger, water moved
into the egg because
of higher
concentration

7. Conclusion  Water Egg,
