How much salt to make an egg float

After a couple of months thinking about what experiments to do, seeing other projects, and working on our own, we had our Third Annual Homeschool Science Fair, this spring. I’ve really enjoye…

An egg sinks when placed in a glass of water. But can your students add one ingredient to make an egg float? Try it out with this hands-on density experiment!

Try this simple floating eggs experiment to see how density can make an egg float at different levels.

How Salty Does Water Have To Be For An Egg To Float Grade 7

A fresh raw egg will typically sink in a glass of fresh water, but if we change the density of water we can make an egg float with this cool egg experiment!

This sink or float experiment with salt water density is an awesome way to teach about so many science elements! Give it a try!

Timothy Bui is one of a few students asking, "How Salty does water have to be for an egg to float?" No doubt Tim will be looking into density and include research from our lab learner cell on Solutes and Solubility. Natalie Dove adds density of eggs to this questions, she is using salt water with raw eggs, hard-boiled eggs, and frozen eggs. Elijah Cruz is also experimenting on this topic.

Simple Egg Experiment for exploring density with kids using this floating egg experiment for kids of all ages. Learn why do eggs float in saltwater!

Why do we float in the Great Salt Lake? To answer that question, you're going to need some water, salt, and an egg. It's time to perform the Great Egg Experiment!
