Egg Lab

Have you ever observed something and then had a question about why it happened? Perhaps you even had a guess as to why something happened. Once you start asking questions and making predictions, SCIENCE is happening!
In the Egg Lab, students made observations of a hard boiled egg when they placed it in two different liquids. They made a prediction and then made observations.
What do you think was in the two beakers? Why? Could you create a test to figure out if your guess was correct?

I had fun doing the project.

Hay Mr.Honer today 9/2/09 I did the egg experiment. I think that the 2 liquids were vinegar and something else. I had alot of fun. I think we will be doing some really fun experiments this year determining on what we did today. Im looking forward to figuring out what the liquids are tomorrow. Say hi to DJFunkyMuffinz for me!

Melody C. said...

Oops I forgot to put in the rest of my question answer. I think the 2 liquids were vinegar and alchohal because of the aroma. The alchohal I use to put on cuts seems to have the same smell and my dad has used vinegar in the past so I have a memory of that scent. I think I could put vinegar in 1 250ml beaker and alchohal in another 250ml beaker and see if a hard boiled egg has the same affects as your experiment did. I hope my guess was right. See ya tomorrow!

Josh H said...

yo mr honer, wuz up! i think it was water and either water and baking soda or water and korn starch OR water and flower. see u in class tomorow. p.s. what was it suppose to do to the egg???

JamieH said...

I thought the liquids were salt water and regular water. I thought salt water because we spilled a small amount on the table and the next day it was dried up. The dried up water looked like it had salt in it. I also know that when salt water drys there is some grains of salt left. I cant wait for the upcoming project you told us about......see you tomorrow!!

Nick W said...

After doing the egg experiment I thought beaker A was water and vinegar.Beaker B was water,vinegar and salt.

darlazia b said...

I think that in beaker A it was salt water in it because it looked cloudy and when you but salt and water together the salt starts to fade away into the water. I think that in beaker B it was sprite because it was fuzzzy.

Henrys. said...

I think in beaker A was vinegar because it had a strong smell.I think beaker b was salt water.

Hey Mr.Honer i think that water and vinegar and the other beaker was water.

Eric.h said...

I think it vinegar or clorox

Katelyn W. said...

I think it was vinegar and water with vinegar in it.

matt s said...

it was vinegar and water and in the other one is water that is why b smelled like vinegar and a smelled like water

Emma B (awesome) said...

I had fun doing the experiment, but I was angry with you because you did not tell us yet what was in it! You said you would so grrrrr! I think one is Clorox bleach and water is in b and I'm guessing vinegar and water is in a. But i don't really know. ;) :) X)

josh R said...

Beaker b had vinegar and water

jorge batiz said...

I think it has bleach and water

scott m said...

i think baking soda was in the beaker

raheemH said...

I think it has peroxide in B.

mikaylaq said...

In beaker A I think there was water and white vinger.In beaker b there was sprite or seirra mist. I think we have lots of fun thiS Year! I am having lots of fun with the laptops and the expirements.

Breonna.s said...

I think sprite soda was in bearker A and salt water in beaker B

Jordan D. said...

I wasn't here but I think in cup A it was regular water.In cup B it was either water with salt,or water with vinegar.

Jayna T. said...

Hey Mr. Honer not really sure about the beakers because I was absent but,I'm going to make a guess maybe vinegar in one and peroxide in the other.

graham l said...

I think one was soda and something else

lilyA said...

I think in beaker A is vinegar in beaker B is just water

wuinsdane.a said...

i have fun doing the project.

Jazmine B said...

I think we had two beakers because one beaker was salt water and the other one was just plain and i really enjoyed that experiment and hope we do it again.

Dreamaw said...

I want to do everything and the egg lab was very FUN!

Katie s said...

I think that in beaker A was salt water and in beaker B it was just plain water. yes you can find out what was in the beakers.

JamieH said...

Here I am again!!!! I also think that the liquids may have been water and lemon juice (or lime). Tell the class next time Djfunkymuffinz comments.

Melody C. said...

Hay Mr.Honer I am practicing my typing in your classroom. Ive already posted what I thought was in the beakers so I really hope I'm right!

wuinsdane.a said...

i think that the 2 liquids were viegar.

thomasg said...

I think that one of the containers had saltwater in it which made the egg slow down slower and the other container had plain water in it. I could get a glass of water and a glass of saltwater and see if I am correct.

kristen.f said...

I think the glasses were filed with different types of things like soda and vinegar.I had a lot of fun that day hopefully Mr.honer tells us what it was because i really want to know what the liquids are.

armonij said...

i think in one of the two beakers it was salt water and the other beaker it look like just regular water i am not really sure about that one

katlync said...

I think it was vinegar because it smelled lick vinegar when I smelled it

will.h said...

in beaker A i think there was baking soda and in beaker B i think it was just regular water.

apollos.m said...

I beaker B I thank there was salt in it because if you look inside you could see all the salt that did not dissolve.I think there was nothing in beaker A.We could put both beakers by the windowsill to see if my answer is correct

elijahr said...

I thing that it had salt and water in 1 beaker and just water in the other.

jonathan b said...

i think that in the sample A was white vinegar and water was.

linseyw said...

I think beaker A was salt water water and beaker B was regular water. the water in beaker a was cloudy and smelled like salt so it could have been salt water. beaker b was clear and did not smell like any thing. yes i could creat a test buy testing my prediction and see if they were the same.

ajene.p said...

Hay Mr.Honer i think it was salt water and just regular water I had alot of fun with the egg lab and when are you going to tell us what it is because i'm am accuss to know

janae.c said...

i think water was in the to beakers because it did not have no smell also the water was clear and if it was soda or something else it will start sizzling

julia e said...

i had fun doing the egg project it was cool.

kalebj said...

I think that they both had water only one had salt in it. It was fun to do. I wonder what was in the beakers?

Jacob S. said...

I think water was in beaker A and chlorine water in beaker B.

ron'nae r said...

I fun when we did the egg lab project on 9/02/2009

nick f said...

I think the two liquids are chlorine and water

Emily S. said...

I think their was salt water and chlorine in one beaker and normal water in the other. I think this because one smelled like pool water and the other was normal. No I don`t think I could test this.

toni h said...

I think in beaker A there's water and in beaker B there's sierra mist. by the way doing the project was fun and interesting.

jaretb said...

i think the two liquids were vineger and water because white vineger is foggy and water is clear.I don't think there could be a test to figure it out because I smelled it and it was hard to figure out.

Tiyerra B. said...

hey Mr.Honer I really enjoyed doing the project i think to of the liquids were water but salt was added to one see ya next week

Mariah A said...

I think it was water ands salt.

ashmeir l said...

what think what was in the beakers is water because the egg did not do any thing with it was in the beaker.

Brenna.P. said...

I did the egg experiment and I think there was tap water in one and filtered water in the other to see if anything different would happen.I also think it would be hard if you made a chart for some people but, for others it might be easier.

deborah s said...

when we did this experiment what we thought was in beaker was a chlorine and water and in beaker b we thought it was gust water

paulf said...

I think it was Sierra Mist in beaker B

jazmen c. said...

hey MR.honer i think in sample b it was plane water cause it sat there and didn't nothing .in sample a i thought soap was in there thanks by!!!!!!!!!!

harley r said...

I think one beaker had salt water in it. And in the other beaker it might of had nothing except water. I think this because the one beaker looked clear. And the other one looked foggy.

kierra d said...

In the beaker i think there was regular water and water with baking soda in one.Yes i think you can do an project

Austin D. said...

I think that vinegar and water was in beaker A. I think that water was in beaker B.

Mr. Honer said...

Hey there everybody! It seems like everyone enjoyed the Egg Lab. I really liked the way you worked together to complete the lab and also took lab safety seriously!
As far as the big question goes, I was happy that so many people took a thoughtful guess as to what was in the different containers. Many of you based your guesses on past experiences. I was a little disappointed that not all of you answered the entire question though. Only a few students (Thomas, Apollos, Linsey, and a few others) suggested an experiment to test their hypothesis. I think that we will have to follow up with this and also work on answering every part of a multi-part question!
Ok, now for the part that you have all been waiting for:
In beaker A there was salt mixed in with the water. Jamie made a great observation about why she thought there was salt in the water. You might have noticed also that the egg dropped more slowly through the salt water and in some cases it even floated a little.
Beaker B had fresh water.
Thanks for doing such a great job. On Wednesday we will be doing an activity that I think will be just as fun if not more so!

Melody C. said...

Im glad I answered the question right but I cant believe I got the ingredients wrong. It was stupid of me to ammediently asume that the ingredients woulnt be simple. But it was a new experience and I had fun with the egg lab.

Kendel G. said...

I am late answering but i'm going to be honest with my old answer.I thought in sample A I thought the egg would disolve.In sample B I thought the egg would stay the same.The egg got longer and in sample B the egg became smaller.

raheemH said...

MR.honer what did the class do today because I wasen't there. But I was here for peroids 8/9 and half of 1/2.

Anonymous said...

hello say hello to dj funky muffinz for me
ha ha ha whatever any way bye!

mikaylaq said...

the game was fun

KatlynC said...

I really liked the EgglAB because you got to put eggs in water

harley r. said...

hi mr.honer i all ready answered the quistion so when is the after school science program going to start? you can tell me in class if you want! see you at 9th pd.

kirsten E said...

What was in the jars I was not there or I did not here aboat it!
