Salt Density Experiment
Why is it easier to float in Great
Salt Lake then it is to float in the Ocean? Does it have anything to do with the density or the salt content?
What You Will Need:
1 cup of tap Water
1 cup of “ocean water” to make use 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt & 1 cup of hot water can be mix it up until salt dissolves.
1 cup of salt water from your Great Salt Lake visit or mix your own with 4 1/2 Tablespoons of salt & 1 cup of hot water
3 cups labeled: Fresh Water, Ocean Water, Great Salt Lake Water
3 fresh eggs
1 cup of “ocean water” to make use 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt & 1 cup of hot water can be mix it up until salt dissolves.
1 cup of salt water from your Great Salt Lake visit or mix your own with 4 1/2 Tablespoons of salt & 1 cup of hot water
3 cups labeled: Fresh Water, Ocean Water, Great Salt Lake Water
3 fresh eggs
*Use clear cups when doing this experiment to be able to see
what the eggs do!
Instructions:
Make your water samples and be sure
to label them
Observe what happens when you place
an egg in each cup
1. Place an egg
in the fresh water cup; watch it as it moves towards the bottom. Does it
sink fast or slow? Write down what you see.
2. Gently place
the egg into the Ocean water cup. Watch the egg carefully did it sink faster or
slower than the last? Did it sink as deep as the egg in fresh water? Write down
what you see.
3. Last place
an egg in the cup of Great Salt Lake water. Watch your egg carefully does it
sink or does it float? Why is this egg different than the rest? Why do you
think it is doing what it is doing?
Conclusion:
The different amounts of salt contained in each
water sample affect the density of the water. The more salt there is in the
water, the easier it is for the egg to float because the salt helps
"push" the egg up. That's why the egg in the Great Salt Lake water
floated much higher in the water than the eggs in the other two samples. The
same thing happens to you when you go swimming in Great Salt Lake! The water is
so dense with salt that it resists letting you sink. That is something you can
tell your friends the next time you go swimming in Great Salt Lake!
Map Activity
People of
Great Salt Lake
Many
early explorers came to Great Salt Lake. One of those explorers, John C. Fremont,
explored the area around Great Salt in 1843. He made a map of his expedition
describing the various plants, soils, and animals found around the lake. What
did you see on your exploration of Great Salt Lake today? Make a map of your exploration.
