2. The Beginning
It all started in Learner High School‟s Biology class,
where I learned a lot about cellular processes like
osmosis and diffusion. That‟s when I decided to try to
re-create those processes using eggs as the animal
“cell”.
3. The Project
I spent the next four weeks working on the project. First, I
submersed the eggs in different solvents to make them more
permeable.
Salt-water solvent Sugar-water solvent Water solution
4. The Final Test
After 48 hours, I dried each egg and carefully poured certain
amounts of each solvent over each egg. Then, I measured how much of
each solvent actually passed through the egg. After that, I determined
whether the egg was penetrated through osmosis or diffusion.
Exhibit A (Salt-water egg) Exhibit B (Sugar-water egg) Exhibit C (Water egg)
15 ml 7ml 0 ml
5. Data
After many tests, I finally found out that eggs A and
B were penetrated through osmosis and that the
project was a success.
