Variables

Here are some of the variables that affect the experiment.

Independent Variables:

1) Water
2) Sucrose solution
3) F&N Cherry
4) Tomato sauce

Dependent Variables:

1) The final circumference of the eggs / Circumference change
2) The final mass of the eggs / Mass change

Controlled Variables:

1) Temperature
2) Egg size, brand and type
3) Time
4) Containers

If most the variables are not properly measured or used, it can affect the results of the experiment. For example, the type and brand of eggs used must be the same, as different brands of eggs might have different masses. Thus, the results of the experiment will be inaccurate, as the mass of the eggs might differ greatly.
