    The document describes an experiment to test if adding materials to water can make an egg float. It explains that an egg was placed in four glasses of water - one with just water, one with salt added, one with chia seeds added, and one with sesame seeds added. The results showed that the egg only floated in the glass with salt added, supporting the hypothesis that adding a denser material can increase the water's density enough to counter the egg's density and allow it to float.

    The Floating Egg

    Gisell Rios
    Problem
    Can we make an egg float in water?
    Hypothesis
    An egg will not float in a cup of
    water but if we add materials to the
    water that are more dense than the
    egg then the egg will begin to float.
    Materials
    ● 4 Tall Drinking Glasses
    ● Water
    ● 4 Eggs
    ● Salt (3 tbsp)
    ● Chia Seeds (3 tbsp)
    ● Sesame Seeds (3 tbsp)
    Procedure
    1. Fill all 4 glasses with equal amounts of water.
    2. Add one additional element per glass (Salt,
    Chia Seeds, Sesame Seeds) to three of the
    glasses.
    3. Place one egg into each glass and observe in
    each if the egg will float.
    Results

    1. Egg did not float in glass with just water.

    2. Egg floated in glass with salt.

    3. Egg did not float in glass with Chia Seeds.

    4. Egg did not float in glass with Sesame Seeds.


    Conclusion

    Hypothesis was correct in glasses where the

    additional element made density of water higher than

    the density of the egg, the egg floated. In this case

    the egg only floated in the glass with salt as it was

    the only one with higher density.
