Hypothesis Based on background research, I think the eggs will float by adding 5-10 tablespoons of salt into a glass of water.

I will put an egg into each cup and see which egg float. Procedure First, I will fill up two cups with tap water. Then I will add salt to one of the cups. I will then stir the water for about 30 seconds. I will put an egg into each cup and see which egg float.
