 | Today Micah challenged our knowledge of liquid density and weight with his egg experiment. He wanted to know what would happen if you put a raw egg in regular water, salt water, and a mix of the two. We made hypotheses for each and found out we were on the right track! We've also come to know and love the words displacement and suspended. |
| Salt Water: Hypotheses: sink, float, displacement Results: The egg floated and we saw displacement. | Regular Water: Hypotheses: sink, float, displacement Results: The egg sunk and we noticed displacement. | Half and Half Water: Hypotheses: suspension, melt, crack Results: The eggs became suspended AND we noticed displacement! (I forgot to take a picture of this one...oops!) |
Some interesting discussion points:
1. What would happen if the egg cracked? Just a little? All the way?
2. Would the egg react differently if it were cooked?
3. What would the egg do in other kinds of liquids?
