Project title:
Will an egg sink in freshwater but float in saltwater?
Elementary school
None

Hypothesis:

I believe that an egg will float in saltwater but not in freshwater.

Materials:

2 containers
2 eggs
water
salt

The Procedure:

First, fill one container with freshwater and then place an egg in the container to see if it will float or sink. Next, fill the second container with water and add salt 1 Tablespoon at a time until an egg floats when you place it in the saltwater.

Results:

I haven't finished my project yet, so I don't know what the results will be.
