Broken Eggs Problem Statement: In the broken eggs problem my task is to find out how many eggs she had when she hits a pothole and fell. Every egg broke and the only information she knew was the following: When the eggs were put into groups of two, there was one left over When she put them in groups of three there was also one left over When she put them in groups of four, five, and six there was also one left over. When she put them into groups of seven there were none left over Process: The process I used to find out the answer to the broken eggs problem goes as following: Find out if the number is going to be even or odd Do a test to see if you were right by testing at least 5 different even numbers and at least 5 odd numbers.

The ones that I have found are the numbers 301, 721, and 1,141. I found my answer by following the procedure. I also made sure that each of these numbers followed everything she said when she told her insurance agent. I then wrote my answer with my work under each number and did my POW write up. Extensions: The extensions I used to get my answer is working with my group. Putting more than one brain into one task makes your answers more likely to be efficient and correct. Some classmates in my group also came up with patterns to help us solve the answer. In other words, this is also the method I used to solve the problem. Self-assessment: How I think I did with self-assessment is meeting the standards. I worked hard, took my time, and did well working as a group when solving the problem. The part I struggled with the most is understanding the rubric. I like being able to write up my POW and explaining how I did as well as how I got my answer. I believe I tried my best, got along with my group, and did good on my POW. The strategy I used is using an odd number and seeing if it was right by dividing it by 5 and 7 first. Some Rubric Criteria Ratings

With the styrofome cup fill it with enough water to put inside the solo cup weighing down the egg
By the end of the experiment, it was predicted that the egg would be swollen when left in water and shriveled when left in corn syrup. Based on the data given from the table above, the prediction is, more or less, right. The egg did, in fact, shrivel up and the weight of the egg did go down as well. Compared to the beginning of the experiment where the egg had an initial mass of 81.50 grams, but by the end of the water aspect of the research the egg ended up weighing 93.74 grams, therefore, there was an increase of 12.24 grams. Using the data table the weight from the start the syrup aspect of the experiment was 93.74 grams, after being left in syrup the egg weighed a total of 57.32 grams, thus, the egg decreased in weight by 36.42 grams.
When I went to check the egg, I saw that the egg just cracked a little, but it was less than what it was during the first trial, which broke completely.
4. Self-Assessment: I was impressed on how quickly I found the answer to the Problem of the Week. Normally, in this math class, first answer you get immediately is not the right answer. But this time I got it on the first try. I would rate myself a 10 out of 10 for my
The lid was then placed on the jar and an observation was made and recorded. Observations of the egg were then made after 12 hours and 24 hours had passed and the observations were recorded. After 24 hours had passed, the egg was removed from the syrup and rinsed with tap water and observations were made and recorded.
When the 4 eggs were weighed it was found that out of the 4 solutions, 2 were hypotonic and 2 were hypertonic. The mass of 2 of the eggs increased and the other 2 decreased after 60 minutes in the various solutions. Out of the 4, the most hypotonic solution was the distilled water; and the most hypertonic solution was the solution with 2.0M glucose. The
This is the final step of the experiment. The shell-less egg was now placed into a new cup, but very carefully, as the egg was more fragile than when it was soaked in vinegar. The egg in the new cup was then covered with water. The egg sat in the water for a 24 hour time period once again. During this 24 hour time period the eggs appearance and size were once again recorded. After the time period had completed, the egg was removed from the water and was very carefully patted dry. Since the egg was now swollen, extra care was needed when holding the egg. The swollen egg was placed on the scale on last time and its mass was recorded as M3.
The eggs will increase and decrease in mass when placed solutions with different amount of solutes. This
4.14. The accuracy of the data is dependent on the correct controls being in place, Ensuring temperate stays the same throughout all solutions, making sure that the solutions are correct that the weight and size of the eggs are the measured correctly and that when the eggs are removed they are removed at the same time. Some of the eggs were not completely submerged in the solution this may cause some errors in the experiment and may have caused varying results. The eggs were of different sizes this also will cause the results to vary, Gathering eggs of exact size and weight would have ensured the results were correct. The eggs may not have been dried enough also causing results to vary; this can be fixed by ensuring that the eggs are thoroughly dried. The eggs were taken out at a time around about 24 hours, having an exact time to remove the eggs would have eliminated errors.
An egg has a semi-permeable membrane, thus processes like osmosis could occur. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher water concentration to an area of a lower water concentration. Osmosis is important, especially for living organisms, as they help distribute nutrients in the body. An egg’s mass would change when it is soaked in different substances. The goal of this experiment was to investigate how an egg changes through osmosis. This experiment was done to show how substances affect the mass of an egg. To start off, an egg’s mass was measured by putting the egg in a beaker then placing it on a mass scale. The beaker was then filled with vinegar and left alone for twenty-four hours. After a day, the egg was taken
Each Egg Cycle is 257 steps long. For example, a Misdreavus Egg starts with 25 egg cycles, meaning it requires a maxmimum of 6425 steps to hatch. Once an Egg Cycle is completed, all Pokemon in the player's party will have their Egg Cycle reduced by 1. The Egg Cycle Step Counter will be reset and the game will determine whether an Egg will be found at the Day Care. Once a Pokemon's Total Egg Cycles completed reaches 0, the Egg hatches. If 2 or more Pokemon's Total Egg Cycles completed reaches 0, then each Eggs will hatch with on the next step. If a Pokemon with the ability Flame Body or Magma Armour is in the party when an Egg Cycle is completed, then Egg Cycles are reduced by 2, instead of 1. Hatching O-Powers can also be used to speed up the process.
The eggs will change in mass in all the three solutions, indicating that osmosis will occur when the concentration of two solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane is different, so that equilibrium is established.
Hypothesis: If the egg is placed into water, then it will increase in size since water is a hypotonic liquid because it contains more water than the egg.
