EGG Float or SINK
Materials:
- 2 clear glasses
- 2 cups of water
- 2 raw eggs
- 3 tbsp of salt
Directions:
Fill one glass with 1 cup of water and carefully add an egg. You will see it sink to the bottom. In the second glass, mix 1 cup of water with the salt until fully dissolved. Then, carefully add the second egg. This time, the egg will float.
Why is this happening?
The density of a raw egg is greater than that of water, causing it to sink. However, adding salt to the water increases its density, making the water denser than the egg, allowing the egg to float.
Note:
You can adjust the amount of salt to make the egg float in the middle of the glass.
