This section of Science Experiments web site with egg Science Experiments is about egg floating experiment. Egg floating experiment is one of many egg experiments that are easy to do and you can do it at home.

Equipment needed for the Egg floating experiment

Egg floating experiment is very simple and requires only two glasses, salt, two eggs and of course water.

Method for Egg Floating Experiment

1. Mix plenty of salt (about 10 heaped teaspoons) into half a glass of water.
2. Fill half of the second glass with fresh water (no salt added to this glass).
3. Try floating an egg in each glass.

Result of the Floating Egg Science Experiment

You will find that egg will float in the salt water but not in fresh water. This is because egg is less dense than salt water but more dense than fresh water. Since salt water is more dense than fresh water, it is also easier to float in the sea.

Question: chemistry experiment help, please?

I’m a high school junior. I need help simply coming up with a topic to do an experiment on. It needs to be really advanced (or at least sound like it) in order to be accepted into the science honors college.

They rejected my last proposal about Iodine titration of vitamin C in foods because it was apparently done at the middle school level. (I thought it was pretty difficult. Those must be some genius middle schoolers!)

Basically, it needs to be a difficult experiment, incorporating lots of math, but use materials that a high school student would be able to obtain. I’m obviously not going to be able to get my hands on exotic chemicals or expensive supplies.

Here’s a bunch of ideas that are supposedly “advanced”

Question: Chemistry project?

Pls suggest a Chemistry experiment/project for Science Exhibition. Baking Soda Volcano is like a 10th Grade project and it is the only thing I can think of. I dont want to do that. I’m in senior year high school.

Answer: hey then you can go in for electroplating
