Easter Egg Experiment

The experiment I made was at home.

Predictions:

  • If an egg is placed in salty water, the egg will float.
  • If the egg is placed in sea water, the egg will also float.
  • If the egg is placed in pure water, the egg will sink.

Results:
  • The egg that I placed in salty water floated.
  • The egg that I placed in sea water, the egg also floated (sea water from Edmond Beach).
  • The egg that I placed in pure water indeed sank.


I wasn't very surprised of the results I got.
I was just unsure how to dose the salt in the salty water, compared to the one in seawater.
I did a basic experiment without the color for guessing as you guys did in class, because I made it by myself so it wouldn't have made sense to do it the same way.

So, as I did this experiment at home, I decided to:

  1. Use the same recipient for all three experiments, which was a tall transparent glass. 
  2. For the salty water, I placed all of table salt.
  3. For the seawater, I brought some water from Edmond Beach.


pure water with added table salt.
