The 7th-grade students were back in the lab after winter break to study how water moves in and out of eggs through the egg membrane.
The egg shells were first dissolved in vinegar (acetic acid) and then placed in different solutions (distilled water, 34.2% sucrose, and 68.4% sucrose) after weighing them with a digital scale. This membrane is selectively permeable. This means that it lets some molecules move through it and blocks out other molecules. Water moves through the membrane easily. Bigger molecules, like the sugar molecules in the sucrose solutions, do not pass through the membrane.
The eggs were then weighed again to see if they gained or lost mass as a result of water moving into or out of the egg. The students then calculated the % change in mass and graphed their data in Google Sheets.
