Priya Kolu
8-73

2. Purpose
• 1. Pour water ( or corn syrup ) in cup.
• 2. Place egg in the cup of water ( or corn
syrup)
• 3. Leave the egg in cup for 24 hrs.
• 4. After 24 hrs, measure the egg using
measure string and balance.
• 5. Record the results.

3. Materials
• 2 eggs
• Vinegar
• Corn syrup
• 2 cups
• H²0 (water)
• A string
• Tape measure
• Two beakers
• A balance

4. Hypothesis (Water egg)
• Hypothesis was wrong.
• Different liquids effect
egg size.
• I thought water egg
would dissolve after
sitting in water for 24
hrs.

5. Hypothesis (Corn syrup egg)
• Hypothesis was
wrong.
• Different liquids
effect egg size.
• Thought egg would
also dissolve.

6. Conclusion (Water egg)
• Egg enlarged.
• Water moved into this
egg.
• Egg has lower
concentration of water.
• Water moved from higher
concentration (water) to
low concentration (egg)

7. Conclusion (Corn syrup egg)
• Egg shrunk.
• Water moved into this egg.
• Egg had higher water
concentration than corn
syrup.
• Water moved from higher
concentration (egg) to
lower concentration (corn
syrup).
