EGG-CELLENT!

12/17/2014

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?
