- Egg
- Tall glass
- Water
- 6 tbsps. salt
- Long spoon
Step 1
Fill the glass about half-full with water.
Step 2Pour the salt into the glass. Mix the salt into the water with the spoon. Stir until the salt dissolves.
Step 3Slowly add more water to the glass until it's almost full. Do this carefully, so that the fresh tap water won't mix with the salt water in the glass.
Step 4Gently place the egg into the glass of fresh and salt water. Watch as the egg falls through the plain water at the top of the glass but floats in the salt water.

When you place an egg in salt water, the egg will float because salt water is denser than fresh water, causing the egg to be less dense and thus float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the denser liquid exerts more force on the egg than the egg weighs, making it float.
