a large bowl
warm water
an egg
salt
spoon
Fill your bowl with warm water.

Remove the egg and stir at least one cup of salt into the
water. Stir until you can't see any grains of salt.
The water will look cloudy.
Place the egg in the salty water. What happens?

Did the egg float? Adding salt to water makes it heavier. In salty water the amount of
water the egg displaces weighs more than the egg and the egg floats.
97% of the world's water is in
oceans. The remaining 3% is
fresh water. That 3% of fresh
water divides into 77% contained
in icecaps and glaciers, 22% in
groundwater aquifers (drinking
water) and 1%
in lakes and
streams.

*Note: a hypothesis means a thoughtful guess.
