egg

1. The purpose of this project is to find out
whether eggs will float better in salt or fresh
water.

2. When salt is dissolved in water , as it is in ocean
water, that dissolved salt adds to the mass of
the water makes the water denser.
Eggs are layed from chicken, hens, and more
animals.

3. My hypothesis is that the egg in the salt water
will float better because salt helps things to rise.
For example, you are cooking pasta, you add
water and salt and the pasta. The salt helps the
pasta rise and cook faster.

4. • Two eggs
• Water
• Salt
• Two containers

5. • Pour water into container until it is about half
full.
• Stir in lots of salt (about 6 tablespoons).
• Carefully pour in plain water until the
container is nearly full (be careful to not
disturb or mix the salty with the plain water ).
• Gently lower the egg into the water .

6. • The variable of the project is the eggs .The egg
stays the same.
• The dependent variable is the water. The salt
is added in the water.

7. My conclusion is that the egg in the salt water
float better than the egg in the plain water. In all
three (3) trials, the egg in the salt water float.
So therefore, my hypothesis was correct.
