Biology Lab Report

Question- How do eggs react like cells?
Hypothesis- I think that because eggs in hot water hard boil and get heavier that the same with probably
happen to this egg

Materials Needed1.) 2 eggs

2.) 2 plastic cups
3.) Water
4.) Scale
5.) Corn syrup
6.) Vinegar
7.) Stir stick
8.) Glass cup

Procedure- (Day 1)
1.) Figure the total mass of the eggs
2.) Take the shells off the eggs
3.) Write on a cup of egg and syrup
4.) On the second cup you will write egg 2 water
5.) Put eggs in the cup for them and do not switch them
6.) Make a table to chart the data of day 1 through 4
7.) Fill the egg cup until the eggs are filled
8.) Put your name on the cup
9.) Take the cups to the center of the laboratory
(Day 2)

1.) Go and get eggs
2.) Make observations
3.) Get egg out of vinegar using big sinks on the sides of the lab
4.) Put two fingers on egg then pour vinegar out
5.) Using your thumb clean off extra excess
6.) Mass your eggs again to the nearest tenth
7.) Record your data
8.) Fill glass cup with syrup half way, and water the other half
9.) Mix liquids with stir stick
10.) Pour your solution to your syrup plastic cup
11.) Pour water in the water cup
12.) Take them to the center of the lab
(Day 3)
1.) Go find your eggs
2.) Make egg observations
3.) Dump your solutions carefully so you dont break your eggs
4.) Mass your eggs to the nearest tenth
5.) Record your data
6.) Observe and mess with the eggs
7.) Break your eggs inside a trash can if you feel like it

Analysis and ConclusionI was right and wrong, I guessed that both eggs would weigh more but in reality one egg weighed more
the other weighed less. For day 2 both eggs weighed more so I would have been correct if we had only
done 2 days. The reasoning for the egg 1 mass weighing more than the egg 2 mass is because egg 1 had
corn syrup which is a hypertonic solution, containing saline solutions and I thicker the vinegar, where as
vinegar is a much more lite solution so it has less density.
