1. Ashlie Smith 8-16

2. Purpose

1. Place eggs in vinegar to
remove shell
2. Measure size of eggs
with string and ruler
3. Measure weight of egg
using balance
4. Place egg in corn syrup,
and other egg in water.
5. Weigh and measure
eggs again

3. Hypothesis

Corn syrup egg:
Weight - I think the egg
will be the same size
Size - I think the size will
be the same
Looks - Will be the same
as a regular egg

4. Hypothesis

Water egg:
Weight - I think the egg
will be heavier
Size - I think the size will
be larger
Looks - It will look big and
heavy

5. Materials

1. Eggs
2. Balance
3. Measuring tape &
string
4. Corn syrup
5. Water
6. 2 beakers
7. Vinegar

6. Observations

1. Eggs are floating and
foam is forming
2. Corn syrup-24 hours,
egg looks shriveled
up.
Before After 3. Water-24 hours, egg
Corn Syrup W: 67 g W: 44 g looks larger
Egg S: 16.1cm S: 13.2cm
Water W: 77.4 g W: 91.9 g
Egg S: 16 cm S: 17.5cm

7. Conclusion
Corn syrup egg:

Water Egg:
My hypothesis was wrong because
1. Larger; water moved in the
the egg was smaller than what I
egg
guessed.
2. Egg had lower concentration
Water egg:
3. Higher concentration (water)
My hypothesis was correct because moved to lower concentration
the egg was big, like what I guessed. (egg)
4. Corn Syrup Egg:
5. Smaller; water moved out of
the egg
6. Water moved from higher
concentration (egg) to lower
concentration (corn syrup)
