In this osmosis experiment, we tested the effects of water and corn syrup on egg size over 24 hours. We submerged two eggs—one in water and the other in corn syrup—and observed the changes. The hypothesis suggested that the water egg would dissolve, but instead, it enlarged due to water moving into the egg, which had a lower concentration of water. Conversely, the corn syrup egg shrunk as water moved out from the egg to the corn syrup, showing that different liquids significantly affect egg size. Observations included the water egg being bouncy and soggy, while the corn syrup egg was soft and ruined.

Egg Osmosis Experiment PriyaKolu 8-73
Purpose • 1. Pour water ( or corn syrup ) in cup. • 2. Place egg in the cup of water ( or corn syrup) • 3. Leave the egg in cup for 24 hrs. • 4. After 24 hrs, measure the egg using measure string and balance. • 5. Record the results.
Materials • 2 eggs • Vinegar • Corn syrup • 2 cups • H²0 (water) • A string • Tape measure • Two beakers • A balance
Hypothesis (Water egg) • Hypothesis was wrong. • Different liquids effect egg size. • I thought water egg would dissolve after sitting in water for 24 hrs.
Hypothesis (Corn syrup egg) • Hypothesis was wrong. • Different liquids effect egg size. • Thought egg would also dissolve.
Conclusion (Water egg) • Egg enlarged. • Water moved into this egg. • Egg has lower concentration of water. • Water moved from higher concentration (water) to low concentration (egg)
Conclusion (Corn syrup egg) • Egg shrunk. • Water moved into this egg. • Egg had higher water concentration than corn syrup. • Water moved from higher concentration (egg) to lower concentration (corn syrup).
Observation #2 Water egg: • Bouncy • Soggy • Squishy Corn syrup egg: • Ruiny • Soft
