Materials and Methods The materials required to complete this experiment include one grade A egg, one plastic cup, one scale that uses measurements in grams, distilled white vinegar, Karo light corn syrup, water, food coloring, cling wrap/saran wrap, paper towels, a method for recording results, and a writing utensil. The procedure is as follows:
Day One:
Gather your plastic cup, egg, and scale
Weigh the cup on the scale. Record results.
Place the egg in the cup and weigh their combined mass. Record results.
Subtract the mass of the egg and the cup combined from the mass of the cup. Record results.
Pour the distilled vinegar into the cup so that the egg is partially submerged in the vinegar.
Record observations regarding the egg and its environment.

Remove cling wrap from cup.
Carefully remove egg from cup.
Dump the water out of the cup and rinse.
Carefully clean the egg without breaking it.
Ensure that both the egg and the cup are thoroughly dried using paper towels
Carefully place the egg back into the cup.
Record observations regarding the egg’s reaction to being submerged in water overnight.
Place the cup on the scale.
Record weight of the egg and the cup.
Subtract the weight of the cup from the combined weight of the egg and the cup. Record results. Subtract the egg’s mass today from its mass yesterday. Record results.
You may now dispose of the egg and the cup.
The lab has ended. The independent variable in this experiment is the environment that the egg is in. The dependent variable, on the other hand, is the mass of the egg. This is because the mass of the egg changes based off of the environment that the egg is submerged in. This experiment does not have any control variables due to the fact that we were not trying to compare anything. This experiment did however, have many constants. Constants are things in your experiment that you keep the same throughout the entire process. In our experiment the type of cup, the size of the cup, the type of egg, the type of balance scale that we used, the type of vinegar, the type of corn syrup, the water, the elevation of the cup in the room, and the conditions in the room were all kept the same throughout the entire
In this experiment we positioned a marble ball on a wooden roller coaster positioned on a physics stand in the sixth hole. Throughout the experiment, we used an electronic timer to record the time of the marble where it passed through the light beam of its clamp. We positioned the clamp at a certain point on the roller coaster and measured the distance from the marble to the clamp; the height of the clamp; and finally the time the ball traveled through the clamp. After we recorded these different figures we calculated the speed of the marble from the given distance traveled and the time. We repeated the step 14 times, then proceeded to graph the speed and the height. Next, we took the measurements of position of the clamp, height, and speed and calculated the potential energy, the kinetic energy, and the total energy. Total energy calculated as mentioned before. Potential energy is taking the mass (m) which is 28.1g times gravity (g) which is 9.8 m/s2 times the height. Kinetic energy is one-half times the mass (m) times velocity (v2). Finally we graphed the calculated kinetic, potential, and total energies of this experiment.
Then, the weight hanger is removed, the platform is spun until the indicator bracket and disk realign, and the apparatus is timed for ten revolutions. To proceed, the radius is changed and the experiment is run identically until measurements are made for five different radii. For the second experiment with variable mass and fixed radius, the apparatus is set up similarly to the first experiment, but the side post stays at the same radius while the weights on the weight hanger are changed. Again, the indicator bracket and disk are lined up for each trial, the weight hanger is removed, and the apparatus is spun for ten, timed revolutions. Likewise, five different weights are measured. In order to calculate the unknown mass of the hanging

Measure the weight of a small stone to fit inside the opening of a 50ml graduated cylinder.
Background info: hypertonic solution was used in the lab, hypertonic is the liquid substance that is going out of the egg. When a red blood cell has more water than what's outside then the water will come out and will become smaller. Hypotonic is when the water on the outside of the cell has more water than the inside, the water will go in the inside to make it run smoothly. Isotonic is when the inside and outside of the cell is each, they will stay the same.
2. Lift the Ball Bearing to a height of 10cm and drop into the tub of
The egg expanded and the mass of the egg increased after a day of being fully submerged into the vinegar solution. The egg originally had a mass of 60.55g with a white colored shell before being placed into the vinegar solution. When the egg was taken out of the vinegar solution a day later, the egg had a mass of 80.84g and the shell was completely dissolved. The
To carry out the experiment starch-agar Petri dishes are needed. Gloves must be worn to prevent contamination of the Petri dishes and so not to hinder the results.
You want to take the 1 cup of water and bring it to boil in a pot on the stove.
Going into the egg drop project our group felt confident due to an abundance amount of research each one of us had done. Our cradle consisted of an inner tetrahedron base, using clear straws that were taped together holding the egg inside within the zip lock bag. The outer part of our cradle was formed by a full straw being cut in half then taped side-by-side, increasing the strength of the straws, then tapped at the vertices of our tetrahedron; facing the opposite direction of the egg. Rubber bands were then wrapped around the center of the entire model, further holding the straws in place.
During the first day, we weighted the egg and put the vinegar in the cup. Then, we let the vinegar sit on the egg for 24 hours. The next day ,day 2, we spilt out the vinegar ,and added distilled water. We also weighted the mass of the egg ,and described the appearance of the egg on the data chart.

Drop in one penny and time (use stop watch) how long it takes to hit the bottom of the container, listen for the sound of the penny hitting the glass. Repeat 2 more times making sure you drop the penny from the same height each time; record data in a table.
The size of this depends on the mass of the object and the size of the
NOTE: The stirring rod was not used in the First and Second experiments, as it was not available. A substitute we used the thermometer.
