Egg Osmosis Project

 Edel Esguerra
 8-16

Purpose
 To observe osmosis in a cell
 Place egg in Vinegar
 Measure weight of the egg
using a balance
 Measure the size of the
egg
 Use string and measuring
tape
 Place one egg in corn syrup
 place other egg in water.
 Weigh and measure the
eggs again

Materials

 Eggs
 Balance
 Strings
 Measuring tape
 Water
 Corn syrup
 2 beakers
 Vinegar

Hypothesis (corn)

 Corn Syrup Egg
 It will weigh a little
more
 Size will increase
 It will look brownish

Hypothesis (water)

 The egg will weigh the
same
 The egg will look the
same
 The egg will not grew

Observation
Corn syrup Before After Water egg Before After
egg

Weight 67 g 44 g Weight 77.4 91.9

Size 16.1 cm 13.2 Size 16 cm 17 cm

3 Visual Observation

 There’s bubble rising in the egg when it is placed on
the vinegar
 There is more bubble rising and the egg is floating
 It doesnt have a shell and its slimy or squishy
 After sitting on corn syrup for 1 day the egg looks
shrivelled up
 After sitting on water for 1 day the egg is larger and it
doesn’t float

Conclusion (Water)

 It got larger
 Water moved into the
egg
 This was due to the
fact
 The egg had lower
concentration and
 The water have higher
concentration

Conclusion (Corn)

 Corn syrup
 Got smaller
 Water moved out the
egg
 This was due to the
fact
 The egg have higher
concentration
 The corn syrup have
lower concentration

Conclusion Hypothesis

 Water Egg  Corn Egg
 Wrong  Wrong
 The weight did not  The weight will not
change change
 The size did not  It will grow bigger
change  Right
 The color will not  It will look brown
change
