The Amazing Floating Egg Lab

Ingredients
Observation of egg in water before adding ingredients
# of teaspoons added
Observations when ingredient added
Observation when water carefully added
Salt







It sinks because the water has lower density than the egg.




  3 teaspoons
the egg started floating. The eggs density got lower than the waters density. It got more buoyant and started floating. 
it sunk back down to the bottom. The egg sunk again because the waters density got lower than the eggs again and it wasn`t as buoyant.
Epsom Salt
It sinks
because the water has lower density than the egg.







4 teaspoons
the egg started floating. The eggs density got lower than the waters density. It got more buoyant and started floating.

it sunk back down to the bottom. The egg sunk again because the waters density got lower than the eggs again and it wasn`t as buoyant.
Sugar
It sinksbecause the water has lower density than the egg.







8 teaspoons
the egg started floating. The eggs density got lower than the waters density. It got more buoyant and started floating.

it sunk back down to the bottom. The egg sunk again because the waters density got lower than the eggs again and it wasn`t as buoyant.
Baking Soda
It sinks
because the water has lower density than the egg.








 3 teaspoons
the egg started floating. The eggs density got lower than the waters density. It got more buoyant and started floating.

it sunk back down to the bottom. The egg sunk again because the waters density got lower than the eggs again and it wasn`t as buoyant.

Conclusion
·         What did you notice while using each ingredient?
                I noticed that the ingredients that has the smallest chunks dissolved faster and the egg started floating faster. 
·         Why do you think this occurred (use scientific language)?
               I think this occured because the smaller the particles the easier they are to dissolve.
·         Did everything go well during the lab? If no, what would you change next time?

              yes everything went well
