Determining If An Egg Will Float In Salt Water
Objective/Question/Problem The objective of this project is to see if an egg will float in salt water. The question is how much salt is needed to be added to the water to make the egg float. The problem is that no one knows how much salt is needed to make an egg float.
Hypothesis
It will take at least three teaspoons of salt to be added to the water for the egg to float. The reason why I think three teaspoons of salt will need to be added to water for the egg to float is because the egg a density that is lower than the density of the salt water.
Background information Density and buoyancy are the main scientific reasons for the egg floating in the salt water. Density is the measure of how tightly packed matter is (Buller, 96). For this
