Discussion
In my hypothesis I thought the egg submerged in syrup will shrink because of osmosis within the egg. My hypothesis was correct the egg submerged in syrup did shrink. We submerged eggs in syrup and water to see what would occur with osmosis. We looked at all our variables to make sure that the income of the experiment was accurate.
We made sure that in the dependent variable (the size of the egg) that both eggs were the same size. We made sure that in the independent variable (the substance that the egg is in) was accurate. We made sure that all of the control variables were looked at, and how they could effect the experiment.
What happened when we put the egg in the beaker filled with water the egg grew because of osmosis occurring inside the beaker. So the water in the beaker decreased because the egg absorbed a lot of the water from within the beaker. Also the mass of the egg in water increased because it had more water within then before it was submerged in the water. I think that the egg submerged in water became more squishy and soft because there was more water particles within the egg after the movement of water particles from in the beaker to within the egg (went from a higher concentration to a lower concentration). The egg submerged in syrup shrunken because osmosis was occurring inside the egg, so the water went from inside the egg to in the beaker. The volume of water got larger because more water filled the beaker because of osmosis in the egg. Osmosis occurred in the egg because there was a higher concentration of water in the egg than in the beaker.
The weight of the egg decreased because the amount of water in the egg decreased because of osmosis. I think that the reason the inside of the egg was very dry for the egg submerged in syrup was because
osmosis occurred inside the egg so there was less water in the egg. When I opened the egg submerged in water it squirted even where. I think this happened because osmosis occurred inside the beaker so the amount of water in the egg increased so there was more pressure in the egg. So when I opened the egg it squirted because of all the pressure inside the egg.
