Egg experiments such as Floating Egg Science Experiment are very easy to do and are very popular among children studying sciences and conducting Science Experiments. We have already discussed Egg Drop Experiments and general Egg Floating Experiments. Now we take the Egg Floating Experiment further.

Equipment needed for the Floating Egg Science Experiment 2

Floating egg science experiment Stage 2 is as easy as the original Floating egg science experiment. The only equipment needed are two glasses, salt, one egg, and water.

Method of the Floating Egg Science Experiment 2

1. Fill one glass half full of fresh water.
2. Fill one glass half full of very salty water (such as from the original Egg Floating Experiment).
3. Very carefully pour the fresh water into the salt water. Try not to let the liquids mix.
4. Gently lower the egg into the water that is half salt water and half fresh water.

Result of the Floating Egg Science Experiment 2:

The egg should float on salt water and sink in fresh water. The result looks like the egg is suspended in the middle of the glass. This is sometimes used in Magic show for children.

Floating Egg Experiment

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.
