The floating egg experiment – How much salt is needed to make an egg float? Aim: To investigate the effects of salt on the density of water (and therefore the ability to float an object in said water) and to find the amount of salt needed to float one regular egg in a glass of water. Research: Internet research shows that adding salt to water increases the density‚ and in turn makes it easier for objects to float. 4-10 teaspoons of salt in 1 glass of water is said to be enough to make one egg

horrifying medical experiments that took place involving concentration camp prisoners as “test” patients. Not only did these experiments violate the basic rights of human beings‚ but they were an absolute insult to humanity. While this topic is a very uncomfortable‚ and one that makes you question the minds of the people who conducted these experiments‚ it is one that is necessary so that we may become educated and not allow history to repeat itself.
