Bouncy Egg
Can you make an egg bounce? Try this simple chemistry experiment and see the shell of an egg dissolve! You'll be left with a surprise and a fun, bouncy egg. Check out this video tutorial to see it in action!
How we did it:
Materials List
- egg
- jar
- vinegar
-
Gather your ingredients!
-
Pour some vinegar into a jar. Make sure you have enough to cover your egg.
-
Place your egg into the jar and close the lid.
-
Now you'lll have to wait for 3-4 days for the bouncy egg to be ready! You should start to see the eggshell fizz. Check back to see the progress of your bouncy egg.
-
Time to play! Drop your egg 3-5 inches from the table. What happens? If you drop it from a higher spot, your bouncy egg may burst! If this happens, you can take a look at the membrane that was holding the egg together.
-
Try experimenting with different eggs, such as a smaller quail egg. For an extra colorful experiment, add some food coloring into the vinegar to get a bouncy egg.
