The independent variable is the mass of the egg.
Hypothesis 1:
The egg which is soaked in pure water for 48 hours will stay the same mass. The egg soaked in
thick syrup for 48 hours will increase in mass.
Data Table:
Eggs
Day 2
Day 3
Soaked in Water
88g.
95g.
Soaked in Syrup
82.5g
44.3
Result:
The mass of the eggs changed drastically. The egg soaked in water with the mass of 88g on Day
2 increased to 95g on Day 3. The egg soaked in thick syrup decreased from 82.5g on Day 2 to
44.3 g on Day 3.
