🥚 Floating Egg Experiment

Fresh Water vs Salt Water

---

🧪 What is the experiment?

Put an egg in:
1️⃣ Fresh water
2️⃣ Salt water

See what happens!

---

👀 What do you see?

• 🥚 In fresh water → the egg sinks
• 🥚 In salt water → the egg floats

Why does this happen? Let’s find out 👇

🧠 The science behind it (easy way)

🌊 Density (big word, simple meaning)

Density means:

How tightly packed something is

• Heavy and tightly packed → sinks
• Light or spread out → floats

---

💧 Fresh water

• Fresh water is less dense
• The egg is heavier than fresh water
  👉 So the egg sinks

---

🧂 Salt water

• Adding salt makes water denser
• Salt water becomes heavier than the egg
  👉 So the egg floats

---

⚖️ Think like this:

• Fresh water = thin soup 🍲
• Salt water = thick soup 🍜

Egg floats better in thicker water!

---

🧪 How to do the experiment at home

1. Take 2 glasses of water
2. Add salt to one glass and stir well
3. Gently drop an egg in each glass
4. Observe the difference 👀

---

🧠 Easy to remember

More salt → more density → more floating

---

🌊 Real-life connection

• People float more easily in the sea than in a swimming pool
• That’s because sea water has salt!

---

⭐ Fun facts

• This is why it’s easy to float in the Dead Sea
• Submarines use density to sink and float
