Salt | Egg sank to the bottom. | 5 tps. | Egg slowly started to float. | It sank again. |
Epsom Salt | Egg sank to the bottom. | 8 tps. | Egg slowly started to float. | It kept on floating. |

Conclusion
· What did you notice while using each ingredient?
· Why do you think this occurred (use scientific language)?
· Did everything go well during the lab? If no, what would you change next time?
Each ingredient made the water a little more denser. Then it came to a point that the water was denser than the egg. So the egg started to float.
