Egg Float!
!
The purpose of
my experiment was to
find out how does an
egg float in water with
flour, sugar, and sea
salt. My hypothesis is
that if we put an egg
in water then it will
float because we add
salt.
To conduct my
experiment I needed
the following material:
Three separate cups
of water, 4 Tb. flour, 4
Tb. sugar, 4 Tb. sea
salt, 3 eggs, 3
spoons to stir.
Once I had my
material, I did the
experiment.
T
h
e
independent variable
was the fact that I
changed the cups.
The dependent
variable is what I will
measure. The
constants/controlled
variables were the
same cup, same
amount of water, and
same eggs.
In the end, I
learned that salt can
keep an egg afloat.
I learned that if you
add flour to water the
egg will still sink. If
you add sugar to
water then the egg
will also sink. But it
will stay afloat if I
used the salt. This
shows me that it is
easier to float in salt
water then in the
other thing I tested.
