 Eggs
THE PROBLEM  Salt
 Tablespoon
To investigate whether an

OBJECTIVES

 To explain why
salt water affects
water density.
 To explain how
density affects
whether an object
will sink or float in
water.
HYPOTHESIS
The egg will float in the
salt water but will sink in
Procedure:

Conclusion

 The higher the density of an object, the more likely

it is to sink in water.
 Salt increases density.
