Experiment 7- The Floating Egg Experiment

                                                             Experiment 7

AIM

To demonstrate the principle of buoyancy.
.

MATERIAL REQUIRED

  1. A raw egg
  2. A glass of water
  3. A teaspoon of salt

Stir the water until the salt is dissolved. 


OBJECTIVES:

  1. To learn about the principle of buoyancy.
  2. To learn how salt can affect the density of water.


    PROCEDURE:

    1. Fill a glass with water.
    2. Carefully place the egg in the glass of water.
    3. Observe that the egg sinks.
    4. Add a teaspoon of salt to the glass of water.
    5. Stir the water until the salt is dissolved.
    6. Observe that the egg floats.

            Observe that the egg floats


            EXPLANATION:

            The egg sinks because it is denser than water. When the salt is added to the water, it makes the water more dense. This makes it easier for the egg to float.

            SAFTEY PRECAUTION:
            1. Be careful when handling the egg.
            2. Do not eat the egg after the experiment.

            VARIATION:

            1. Try using different types of eggs.
            2. Try using different amounts of salt.
            3. Try using different types of liquids.

            CONCLUSION:

            The floating egg experiment is a fun and easy way to learn about the principle of buoyancy. It is also a great way to demonstrate how salt can affect the density of water.
