1. The document describes an experiment to observe osmosis using eggs placed in water and corn syrup. 2. An egg placed in water absorbed water and increased slightly in size, while an egg placed in corn syrup lost water and shrank significantly as the corn syrup has a higher concentration of solutes than the egg cells. 3. The experiment demonstrated how osmosis causes the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration.

2.  To observe osmosis in a
cell
Steps
1. Place eggs in vinegar
to remove the shell.
2. Measure weight of a
egg using a balance
and to measure the
circumference of the
egg

3. 3. Place one egg in water
and the other in corn
syrup.
4.Weight and measure
again.
Purpose continued

4. Materials
Eggs

 Beakers
 Balance
 Vinegar
 Corn syrup
 Water
 Measuring tape

5.  Egg in corn syrup
egg will go brown and
will be half of its size.
 For the eggs in water
Egg in water
will shrink a little
 it will be will look the
same

6. Observations
After before
Water Width 71.5g Width 50.6g
Size 16cm Size 16cm
Corn syrup Width 71.4g Width 87.5
Size 16cm Size 18.5
After the egg sat in the water for 24 hours it
got squishy and bouncy

7. Conclusion
Water egg
 Egg got larger because
the water cells moved
from higher
concentration to lower
concentration
Corn syrup egg
At the top of the egg it
got foamy
Egg went deflated.
