Eggsperiment - Syrup

This is what happens when you put an egg into syrup! Water rushes out of the cell and into the syrup due to amazing powers of osmosis!  Then Anya took the initiative to put the egg back into water after the Eggsperiment was over and observed that water went back into the egg and it returned to its normal shape.

EggSperiment Continued

We went from vinegar, to water, to salt water, and now to a mixture of food coloring and water.

Membrane

Although we lost a precious member of our egg community today, Ally's egg has taught us what a membrane looks like through its untimely death.  In other news, Ally has adopted Haley C.'s orphaned egg.

Cell Art

Congratulations, you guys are officially famous! Your cell artwork has been published on the Principal's Page. Click here to see it: 7th Grade Art (Cells)

EggSperiment

The purpose of this lab is to determine how the circumference of the egg increases, decreases, or stays the same as we submerge it in various liquids. This will relate to our discussion of diffusion, osmosis, and active transport in regards to cell membranes. :)

Day 1: submerging our eggs into vinegar

Day 4: Circumference increased.  By 1-2 cm average. Removed eggs from vinegar, submerged into plain water
