    The document describes an experiment to test whether an egg would sink or float in salt water versus normal water. The hypothesis was that the egg would float in salt water and might lift up slightly in normal water. Observations showed the egg sank and bounced in normal water, but sank then rose to near the top in salt water. The conclusion is that the egg sinks in fresh water but floats in salt water because salt makes the water denser, allowing the egg to float easier.

    Understanding the scientific process can lead to discovery and innovation.

    By Jean

    Question & Hypothesis


    Q: Would the egg sink in salt water or

    normal water?
    H: My hypothesis is the egg will float

    entirely in salt water and might just lift up a little bit in normal water

    Observations of my Experiment
    EGG DROPPED IN NORMAL WATER:
    - Sank down entirely - Started rolling- bouncing

    - Sank down-Not moving


    EGG DROPPED IN SALT WATER: Sank Came up immediately-Near the top of the tall glass

    Conclusion-What I have Learnt


    I LEARNED..

    That an egg sinks in fresh water and floats in salt water. Egg floats in salt water because salt makes the water denser and dense water helps an egg float easier.
