Science project title:  How much salt does it take to float an egg?  I am a 3rd 
grade student of Seoul American Elementary School in Seoul South Korea. I have 
conducted the experiment and found out that the more salt you put in and 
dissolved in a cup of water the greater the chance of floating the egg.  What 
does salt contain to be able to float an egg?  I know that a boat floats in the 
Ocean.  Please help me with the answers.  I will appreciate it if you can 
respond as soon as possible.  Thank you very much.  Kathleen Isabela Ward
