My equipment: salt, spoon, 2 eggs, and 2 big glasses filled with water.
My Method:
1. Fill both of the glasses with water.
2. Then fill a tablespoon with salt and pour the salt in to the water. Repeat this five more times. Only fill one glass with the six tablespoons of salt.
3. Drop an egg into the plain water.
4. Stir the salt water really well.
5. Drop the other egg into the salt water.
My predictions: I think the plain will make the egg float and the salt water will make the egg drop.
Results: The salt water caused the egg to float and the egg sank in the plain water.
Why?: The egg floats in the salt water because the salt water is denser than the egg. The plain water is less dense than the egg so the egg sinks to the bottom of the glass.
