Q&A

• Why does the egg float in salt water?

  The egg floats in salt water due to its higher density compared to the water, illustrating the impact of density on buoyancy. This aligns with the principle that anything with higher density sinks in water, and heavier liquids have greater density.

• Why does the egg sink in fresh water?

  The egg sinks in fresh water because its density is higher than that of water, in line with the experiment's hypothesis and foundational concepts of density and buoyancy.

• What happens when salt is added to water?

  When salt is added to water, it increases the water's density, impacting how objects behave when placed in the saltwater solution.

• How is the glass egg used in the experiment?

  The glass egg and spoon are used to demonstrate the behavior of an object sinking in fresh water, providing a visual representation of the density concept.

• What materials are needed for the experiment?

  The experiment requires fresh water and salt as essential materials to conduct the investigation.

• What is the hypothesis of the experiment?

  The hypothesis is that objects with higher density than water will sink. It is a fundamental aspect of the experiment and guides the investigation.

• What is the experiment about?

  The experiment is about investigating why some objects fall into water, following the scientific method.

• 00:05 Student teacher introduces an experiment following the scientific method to understand why some objects fall into water.
• 00:24 The hypothesis is that objects with higher density than water will sink. The experiment requires fresh water and salt.
• 00:43 Glass eggs and spoon used to demonstrate egg sinking in fresh water.
• 01:26 We're conducting an experiment with salt and an egg in water.
• 02:10 The egg sinks in fresh water because its density is higher than that of water, and adding salt to water increases its density.
• 02:32 The egg floats in salt water because it has a higher density compared to the water. Heavier liquids have greater density.
