Floating and Sinking

Our second experiment of the day shocked us! We made our predictions that the egg would sink when put it in the water and when we tested our ideas we were right, it did sink. 
Miss Mayer then gave us water with added salt. This tricked us and the egg floated at the top of the water! 
 

we…
