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

The Floating Egg Problem Introduction: This experiment was constructed to aid in the practice of using the volumetric system and the glassware that determines volume. Volumetric glassware contains an accurate amount of liquid and also measures the volume accurately. Density is a measure of how much matter takes up a certain amount of space or volume. The more matter you can pack into a certain space‚ the denser it is. Although we often confused the two‚ density and weight are actually two

How much salt must be added to a glass of water for an egg to float? Hypothesis: I believe it will take 5 tbsp. of salt to be added to water for an egg to float. My reason is that I think that 5 tbsp. of salt is very heavy and will make the water heavy enough to float the egg. I must make the water heavy enough to float the egg. If the water has enough salt it will float. Materials Used: Eggs – 2 medium sized chicken eggs (2.0oz each) Natural Sea Salt Iodized Salt (table salt)

Abstract My science fair project is about the sound transmission through different veneers. A veneer is the outer part of the house. It can also be called a siding. The veneers I used were brick‚ cement fiber‚ and vinyl. I used these because they were three very common veneers. I thought if I used common veneers it would make the project mean more because people can see sound transmission through common sidings. The way I built the cement fiber and vinyl siding boxes was‚ I cut plywood sides

The Amazing Floating Egg By: Madison Johnson 9th grade biology Introduction: My name is Madison Johnson. I am in the 9th grade. I am in Mrs. Logan’s biology class. I am doing my project on “The Magic Floating Egg”. Eggs sink in normal tap water and I am testing whether or not changing the density of water will make the egg float. I was looking at projects on sciencebuddies.org and I saw that multiple people had done this. I am trying to prove that when you add a certain

Abstract Have you ever bought or tried something new‚ just because of the way it looked‚ or the nice box that it came in? On your birthday‚ which present do you pick to open first? The one that looks big and colorful and exciting or the one that is wrapped in old tissue paper? The way that something is packaged and wrapped often advertises what is inside. But can attractive‚ exciting packaging convince you to try something that might not be very exciting‚ but is‚ perhaps‚ something that is good

How to Do High School Science Fair Projects The following ten steps describe how to do a science fair project. 1. Science Fair Project Judging science fair projects are judged on seven criteria which will guide you as you develop your project. These criteria are creativity‚ skills‚ clarity‚ thoroughness‚ neatness‚ integrity and results. 2. Science Project Types Determine which of the five types of science fair projects that you want to do: original research‚ demonstration‚ investigation

is a dime sized battery which we use for watches. Cells force electrons to flow along conductors.(DK Science 150). "The electrical force of a cell or battery is called its electromotive force (emf). This force‚ which makes electrons flow around a circuit‚ is measured in units called volts (v). Each king of cell has a particular emf. A dry cell‚ for example‚ has an emf of 1.5volts." (DK science 150) The other way to measure a battery is by how much current it can provide. Current is used to measure
