One thing we did this week was the egg experiment we saw demonstrated in our science class. First we dissolved the shell in a glass of vinegar. Our egg at that point weighed 62g. Then we put it in a glass of regular water for a couple of days and it got up to 70g. After that we put it in a glass of corn syrup and it lost almost all of the water inside and the yolk felt really hard and solid. At that point it weighed 24g. Then we put it BACK in the water and it hydrated back up to plump. Pretty crazy. It was a good way to understand how osmosis works.
