1. EGG-SPERIMENT We are starting a new experiment today!
When we look at eggs placed in vinegar…
The vinegar produced gas bubbles  dissolved egg shell
All that we’re left with is a membrane!

2. EGG-SPERIMENT Prelab 1. What does the cell membrane do?
Controls what moves in and out of the cell
2. What are 2 vocabulary words you should associate with the cell membrane?
Selectively permeable
Homeostasis

3. EGG-SPERIMENT
This experiment will let you see how
the cell membrane can be selectively
permeable to different solutions (corn
syrup, water) to maintain homeostasis!

4. EGG-SPERIMENT
Scientific Question:
How does the weight of the egg
change when it is placed in different
solutions (corn syrup, distilled water)?

5. HYPOTHESIS: (IF… THEN…) 1. If the egg is placed in water then…. 2
HYPOTHESIS: (IF… THEN…) 1. If the egg is placed in water then…. 2. If the egg is placed in corn syrup then…
Hypothesis: Three things could happen when the egg is in corn syrup or distilled water:
- Weight increases
- Weight decreases
- Weight stays the same
What do you think is going to happen?
Weight decrease in corn syrup
Weight of the egg will increase in distilled water
Weight will stay the same in both corn syrup or water

6. EGG-SPERIMENT DO NOT WRITE YET!! Listen to what you’ll be doing…
Variables and Procedures
1) Today we are going to take the INITIAL weight of the egg BEFORE we put it in any type of solution

7. EGG-SPERIMENT DO NOT WRITE YET!! Listen to what you’ll be doing…
Variables and Procedures
2) Today we are going to put our eggs in different solutions:
- corn syrup - distilled water

8. EGG-SPERIMENT DO NOT WRITE YET!! Listen to what you’ll be doing…
Variables and Procedures
3) Tomorrow we are going to take the eggs out. We’re going to take the FINAL weight in corn syrup and distilled water.

9. EGG-SPERIMENT DO NOT WRITE YET!! Listen to what you’ll be doing…
Variables and Procedures
3) Tomorrow we are going to write a lab report about what we did and look at our results.

10. Cells in Action EGG-SPERIMENT
EGG-SPERIMENT DO NOT WRITE YET!! Listen to what you’ll be doing…
Cells in Action EGG-SPERIMENT
Pay attention as we go over the details of what we are going to be doing!

11. EGG-SPERIMENT DO NOT WRITE YET!! Listen to what you’ll be doing…
SAFETY!!
Wear gloves
No horse play.
Please handle your eggs VERY GENTLY!
REMINDER… Headphones/electronics in lab = 0 on your lab report. You will have to make up that grade in coach class.

12. NOW YOU MAY WRITE OUT YOUR PROCEDURES
EGG-SPERIMENT

Summarize what was just explained to you.

How will you be safe in the lab?

15. WHAT’S GOING ON?
To understand what’s going on in the egg-speriment, we have to learn about 3 types of solutions and remember what we learned about diffusion

16. EXIT SLIP In this picture, the small black dots are the SOLUTE. The
SOLVENT is water. Assume that the cell membrane is
selectively permeable to WATER ONLY!
QUESTIONS:
1) Is there a greater amount of
solute inside the cell or outside
the cell?
2) Is there a greater amount of
solvent inside the cell or outside
3) Will water move into the cell or out of the cell?
4) Will the cell shrink in mass, increase in mass, or have no
change in mass?
5) BONUS Is this cell in a hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic type of solution?
