FLEET OR HIT?

HYPOTHESIS

Try to see why when the water and salt is mixed the egg floats and in normal water not or in hot water.

MATERIALS For the Salad Egg experiment, you will need the following materials:

1. Two raw eggs.
2. Table salt.
3. Two containers.
4. Soup spoon.
5. Tap water.

PROCESS.

1. Fill both containers with tap water.
2. Add about 6 tablespoons of salt in a bowl and mix well with a spoon until the salt has completely dissolved in the water.
3. Place one egg in each bowl and note which of the eggs floats and which sinks.

Why objects float or sink

Now let us return to the question of why objects float or sink. Placing an object denser than fresh water in this water will automatically sink. In our Salted Egg Egg experiment, the egg, being denser than tap water, pushes away the water particles to make room for itself, which is why the sinking motion occurs. But in the case of salt water, which is heavier than tap water, it is more capable of holding the egg up. Therefore, egg flotation occurs. In other words, objects sink when their density is greater than the density of the liquid.
