1. Egg Osmosis
Experiment
By: Mary Duong 8-16

2. Purpose
 Step 1 – place egg in
vinegar to remove
the shell
 Step 2 – Measure
weight of the egg
using a balance
 Step 3 – Measure size
of egg using string
and measuring tape

3. Purpose
 Step4 – Place one egg
in corn syrup and the
other egg in water
 Step
5 – Weigh and
measure the eggs
again

4. Hypothesis
Corn Syrup:
 Going to have the
same weight and
size
 Syrup is thick wont
be able to go in
the egg
 Going to change
color

5. Hypothesis
Water:
 Weight and size is
going to change
 Water particles are
small so it’ll go
through the egg
 Color would stay
the same

6. Materials
 Eggs
 Balance
 Measuring tape
 String
 Water
 Corn syrup
 Two beakers
 Vinegar

7. Observation
Before After
After vinegar:
 No shell
Corn W 67 W 44
syrup  Squishy
S 16.1 S 13.2
After syrup for 24 hours:
 Shrivelled up
Water W 7734 W 91.9 After water for 24
hours:
 Looks bigger
S 16.0 S 17.5
 Sunken to the
bottom

8. Conclusion For Corn Syrup Egg
 Egg got smaller
 Egg had higher
water
concentration
 Water moves from
high concentration
to lower

9. Conclusion For Water Egg
 Got larger
 Water egg had lower
concentration
 Water moved into egg
 Water moves from high
concentration to lower
 My hypothesis was
wrong

10. Conclusions Hypothesis
Water egg: Syrup Egg:
Wrong: Wrong:
 Weight and size are  Going to have the
not going change same weight and
 Water particles are
size
small so it’ll go  Syrup is thick wont
through the egg be able to go in the
Right: egg
 Going to change
 Color would stay the
same color
