In this simple science experiment, we take just a few minutes to test the laws of density and discover just how easy it is to make an egg float! Below you’ll find detailed instructions and our demonstration video as well as the scientific explanation of “why it works.”
The ability of something, like the egg, to float in water or some other liquid is known as buoyancy. But just how much salt is needed to make an egg float? In this science activity, you’ll figure that out by making salt solutions with varying concentrations of salt in them.
If you’re very careful, you can get the egg to float between the fresh and saltwater! VIDEO COMING SOON BUT YOU CAN STILL ENJOY THESE AWESOME EXPERIMENTS! How It Works: The egg is denser than the fresh water (more molecules per square inch), this causes it to sink.
In fact, if you add enough salt, you can make the water so dense that an egg will actually float in it! Explore how this works in this science activity. If you put an egg in a cup of tap...
Do bad eggs float? Find out if that's true and how to make a fresh egg float with this easy kitchen science experiment for kids
Will an egg float in fresh or salt water? The Floating Egg Experiment is an easy hands-on investigation that can be done in your own kitchen! I have used this lab before as a class demonstration, group lab investigation, and with my own kids at home.
If we want to have an egg to float in water, we must increase waters density. To do this we can dissolve some salt or sugar or any other water soluble substance that has a higher density into the water.
Can you make a fresh egg float in water? Will an egg float or sink in salt water? What is density? What is buoyancy? Answer these questions with this easy floating egg salt water experiment. Check out all our classic science experiments for more great ideas!
‘Floating Egg Science Experiment’ with a twist - Try out with Salt water, sugar water, tap water and saline water. Add a little science to your kids morning breakfast before the egg becomes a delicious scrambled or omelette.
You can get an egg to float in the middle of the glass and it’s almost like a magic trick! You only need eggs, salt and water. Kids can learn about density with this cool science experiment!
