Young scholars investigate osmosis using egg cells with the shells removed. In this osmosis lesson plan, students remove the shell of an egg by letting it soak in vinegar for two days. They take measurements and observe the cell. They soak the egg in corn syrup for two days and then water for two days. Each time they take measurements and observations.
