Conclusion
· What did you notice while using each ingredient?
Different amounts are required for different substances.

· Why do you think this occurred (use scientific language)?
The ingredients increase the density of the water until the water is more dense than the egg, when water is added the water becomes less dense making the egg more dense than the water.

· Did everything go well during the lab? If no, what would you change next time?
Yes, I think we did everything right
