If you have kept eggs past the use before date, try to boil them, and if most sink to the bottom of the pan and a few float on the water - should you throw out the floating eggs? It has been a while since I was taught much about eggs and I The older an egg gets the more gas builds up inside it. More gas = more floating!

How do youy keep an egg from sinking? The egg should stay where it is, floating on the salt water and sinking in the fresh water (in the middle of the glass or beaker).

The Floating Egg; It's so simple and amazing. A raw egg will float in very salty water but will sink in plain tap water. Why? Salt water is more dense than regular water. You'll need to make a very saturated salt solution by dissolving roughly 4 tablespoons of salt in about 2 cups of water.

How to tell if your eggs are rotten/bad/spoiled. So if you submerge a very fresh egg in water, it will lie on the bottom. An egg that is a week or so old will lie on the bottom but bob slightly. An egg that is three weeks or so old will balance on its small end, with the large end reaching for the sky.

The egg is floating on top of the salt water layer. Variation: Take a raw potato and cut a round-ish ball. Add eyes and fins from cellophane. You now have a magic fish that will float in your secret water. This goes over big at kids’ parties, especially if you let each child make their own.
