This week we're going egg crazy! We'll be looking at eggs as a model of a cell this week, and we'll put it in different solutions to see how it reacts to them. This past weekend, I soaked our eggs in vinegar. The acid in the vinegar helped breakdown the egg's shell, so only the thin membrane underneath the shell was left behind. This membrane will allow the egg to exchange molecules with its environment - so we can see examples of diffusion, osmosis, and plasmolysis. We will put the eggs in six different solutions and observe the changes over 2 days. This is also a FULL lab report. So it'll be a lot of work this week, but this is one of the best labs of the year - so it will be worth it! Stay curious and keep looking for answers!
