Easter Egg Experiment (Billy, Alicia, Jack D)
In our experiment, the red sank, the blue floated, and the green was somewhat buoyant, as shown in the pictures above. We believe that the red mixture is distilled water, the blue mixture was salt water, and the green mixture was seawater. We think it was this way because in Exercise B, the density for the distilled water was the lowest and this caused the hydrometer to sink. For the saltiest water, it had the highest density, so the hydrometer was the most buoyant.
Cool pictures! My group got somewhat the same results except our green egg was popping out of the surface a little more. Did your green egg stay between the top and bottom like that the whole time?
ReplyDeleteMy group had similar data except our green egg sunk, it just sank very slowly. But we made the same predictions about what each liquid was.
ReplyDeleteI like how you guys had all 3 eggs in the containers viewed very clearly. I'm surprised the egg in the green colored water didn't float all the way to the top. That's what happened in our experiment. Anyways, I'm sure all eggs aren't equal, so maybe that explains it.
