Science at it's Best!

This winter has been soooooooooo long this year. Besides having baby D, I've had to keep my older boy busy. I decided to look up some science experiments online and here's one of them. What you do is soak an egg in vinegar for 5 days and compare it to an egg that was soaked in water for 5 days. Here are the results.



Day 1

Day 5- Water returned no results, egg stayed as is
Vinegar looked like it was eating away at the shell

With a little rinse under water, the shell completely dissolved and the egg was now see through. The picture isnt great but you can actually see the yolk rolling around inside. It was also really squishy, like a hard boiled egg. Really cool!





Next. the egg was supposed to bounce if dropped lightly.

One, two, three, SPLAT!

Guess not!

Oh well!!




This was a really cool experiment. I didnt think it would work. It really did (minus the bouncing part). My big boy was super excited to see the progress of our egg throughout the 5 days. Stay tuned for some more science!
