Our 7th graders stepped into the world of real science this week as they explored osmosis using farm-fresh eggs! Students are diving into hands-on experiments to uncover why some eggs float while others sink — and what causes them to swell or shrink after soaking in different liquids. Through this fun and fascinating activity, they’re not just watching science happen — they’re living it.
By using simple materials from the farm and kitchen, students are connecting classroom concepts like diffusion, solute concentration, and cell membranes to real-world examples they can see and touch. It’s curiosity-driven, inquiry-based learning at its best — where every egg tells a story about how life maintains balance!
