2. PURPOSE
1. Place eggs in vinegar to
help remove the shell
2. Measure the weight of
the egg using a balance
3. Measure the size of the
egg using a measuring
tape
3. PURPOSE
4. Place one egg in
water and place the
other egg in corn syrup
5. Weight and measure
the eggs again
4. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE CORN SYRUP EGG
Think that the weight of corn
syrup egg will change get heavier
Think the size will change but
be smaller
Looks think that the color will
change and shape stay the same
5. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE WATER EGG
Think that weight will
stay the same
Think that the size will
stay the same to
Looks also think it will
stay the same
7. Corn Syrup
Egg
Before
W 64.9 grams
S 16.0 cm
After
W 35.3 grams
S 13.0 cm
Water Egg
W 65.8 grams
S 16.5 cm
W 83.3 grams
S 18.0 cm
OBSERVATIONS
1) Bubbles coming off of the egg
2) Eggs now floating, at top there is a
bunch of white foam
3) After 24hrs lot of foam still at top,
shell gone feels soft or jelly-like
and squishy
4) After egg in corn syrup 2 days
looks soft, soggy, not round and
little brown
5) After egg sat in water 2 days
seemed larger and transparent
8. CONCLUSION
Corn syrup egg smaller water left egg
due to egg having higher concentration
than corn syrup. Water moved high
concentration to low concentration
Water egg larger water entered egg due
to egg having lower concentration than
water. Water moved high concentration to
low concentration
THIS IS OSMOSIS!
9. HYPOTHESIS (CORN SYRUP EGG)
Size, right thought it would get
smaller water left egg went into corn
syrup
Weight, wrong thought heavier
didn’t water left the egg went into

brown
Shape, wrong thought it stayed
the same but got a little lumpy
10. HYPOTHESIS (WATER EGG)
