The materials used during the egg shell membrane experiment include: one white egg, a plastic cup labeled “egg”, vinegar, distilled water, corn syrup, a tape measure, saran wrap, a triple beam balance, a camera (can be on a phone), and a way to record the data (e.g. pencil and paper). The variable that is manipulated, or the independent variable, is the egg. The variable that is controlled, or the dependent variable, is the liquid (the vinegar, corn syrup, and distilled water) in the cup.
Before the vinegar was added to the solution, the cup’s mass was taken into account and subtracted from the mass of the egg in the cup in order to find the egg’s mass in grams. …show more content…
The vinegar was next dumped out, and the mass, short circumference, and long circumference of the egg was measured in the same manner as the measurements of the egg without vinegar. The plastic cup was cleaned and the egg was placed back in the cup. Next, the egg was submersed and fully covered in the corn syrup. The cup was then covered in saran wrap. These steps were repeated for the next two days with the corn syrup and the distilled water. The egg was thrown away
The materials used during the plastic bag membrane experiment include: two clean plastic cups labeled “1” and “2”, two clear bags, iodine, cornstarch, a camera (can be on a phone), a graduated cylinder, and a way to record the data (e.g. pencil and paper). The variable that is manipulated, or the independent variable, is the hundred millimeters of water in each cup. The variable that is controlled, or the dependent variable, is the clear plastic bags filled with
