Why does an egg sink into a glass bottle but not a plastic bottle?

It floats because the water is heaver then the bottle. The bottle is light so it floats.
No,It floats because the particles are free to move inside but with water in it there is not enough space for the particles to move so it floats.

How do you know the egg will sink and water will float?
Normaly if an egg floats it is bad and should be discarded. As the egg ages air pockets enter the egg, that's why they float. A change in buoyancy. If the egg is more dense then the water (or whatever liquid it is in), it will sink.
Do different types of liquids affect an objects ability to float?
Yes. The egg will sink only to the depth at which it has displaced a volume of the liquid equal to its own weight. The egg will loat on top of a pool of mercury, but sink deeper into a less dense liquid. The temperature of the liquid will also have an effect. Consider what would happen if you attempt to submerge a normal hen's egg in a cryostatic liquid, where the very low temperature would change the volume of the egg.

Is it possible to remove the egg shell of a freshly laid egg without boiling and peeling the egg shell?
Yes, it is possible by putting the egg in a glass and filling the glass up with vinegar. To make this successful, leave the egg in vinegar for around 24 hours or until the shell is completely dissolved.
Does the egg float or sink in water?
It sinks because the water is more dense than the egg in the water.
Can you use a plastic bottle for egg in a bottle?
No, because the plastic is flammable.
How can an egg be under water yet stay dry?
either: Put the egg in a plastic bag or hold a full water bottle over the egg
How is drinking from a straw the same as an egg going into a glass bottle?
Drinking from a straw is the same as an egg going into a glass bottle, because air pressure in both cases is used to move something. In the straw, you reduce the air pressure in the straw, so the air pressure around the drink pushes it up into the straw and into your mouth. In the egg, you reduce the air pressure in the bottle, and air pressure around the egg pushes it down into the bottle.

Who made the thermoscope?
Galileo created the thermoscope by taking a small glass bottle, about the size of an egg; that had a long neck, that was full of water. He heated the bottle with his hands and submerged it in a large bottle of water.
How do you make an egg sink?
An egg will sink in water but will float in salt water. An egg will sink faster in hot water than it will in cold water.
What is a really really easy science experimennt for a science fair that is so easy a prep student could handle it?
The old Egg In a Bottle air pressure test. You need matches, a hard-boiled egg, and a glass bottle whose mouth is a little smaller than the egg's diameter. Light one or two matches, and carefully but quickly drop them in the bottle (you want the matches to still be burning in the bottle. Then put the egg on the mouth fo the bottle. The matches burn up all the oxygen in the bottle, decreasing the air pressure. The greater air-pressure outside the bottle pushes the egg down into the bottle without anyone touching the egg.
Why did the egg fall in the bottle?
That's a weird question, but here goes. Light a couple of matches and put them in bottle. I assume in your case it would be a beer bottle. Quickly place the boiled egg over bottle opening. The burning of the matches will convert the oxygen in the bottle to carbon dioxide, creating a vacuum and sucking the egg into the bottle. Another way is to stick the egg in some vinegar for an hour. Vinegar will soften the egg so it can easily slide in. You could also put water in a pot and let it start to boil. After the water is heated take the water and put it into the glass bottle and quickly put the egg on the top of the bottle. That should compress the oxygen just as good as a match could. You should get the same reaction if done properly. You can also bring the egg out by putting some baking soda on the egg and pouring some vinegar in the container.Quickly turn the container upside down.
How you can put an egg in a bottle?
Find a bottle with wide mouth .If not available breake the egg and pour in bottle.
How do you get an egg into milkbottle?
MATERIALS NEEDED: glass bottle with a long, narrow neck (an apple cider jug works well), boiled egg, matches. PROCESS: Put the empty bottle on a table, Peel the boiled egg, Light a match and drop it into the bottle. Repeat about three or four times, Quickly put the egg over the mouth of the bottle. EXPLANATION: The lit match heats the air inside the bottle. When air is heated it expands and takes up more room. As the heated air expands, some of it escapes out of the bottle. When the matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts, which takes up less room. This creates a lower pressure inside the bottle than outside the bottle. The greater pressure outside the bottle forces the egg to get sucked into the bottle.
Does an egg float or sink?
It depends on the freshness of an egg.
