This experiment demonstrates that a fresh egg sinks in ordinary water and floats in salty water. If you place a fresh egg in a bowl of water you will see that it will sink. Now remove the egg and add a lot of salt to the water. Stir it vigorously to dissolve all the salt. The saltier the water then denser it is. The salt water is much denser than the earlier fresh water. If you now place the egg in this brine solution you will find that the egg would float. If you try to push it in the egg again pops its head out of the water.
