After 24 hours. Weigh, measure eggs again.

Hypothesis

Egg in corn syrup: Weight, lighter Size, the same Egg, look the same

Shells were gone

Observations (continued)

Egg floats, corn syrup egg soaked in water,

bigger/fatter egg soaked in corn syrup,

deflated

Before after

Corn Syrup:

W-71.5S-16cm

W-50.6S-14.5

Water: W-71.4S-16cm

W-87.5S-18.5cm

Conclusion

Egg in water: -got larger water from beaker moved

to egg high concentration (water

in beaker) to lower concentration (egg)

Conclusion (continued)

Egg in corn syrup egg is deflated water from egg moved to

beaker high concentration (egg)

to lower concentration (corn syrup)
