The Mysterious Egg Experiment

Egg Scientists

We are studying eggs this week and we performed an experiment using vinegar and two uncooked eggs. We made guesses what would happen to the eggs after sitting overnight in the vinegar.

·       The shell will disappear – Bryce

·       The egg will shrink to a jelly bean. – Brett

·       The vinegar will turn black from the black crayon. – Geena

·       The egg will turn into the yolk. – Lucy

·       The egg will turn into a butterfly. – Tristan

              (We knew this really would not happen.)

When we were observing the egg, the eggs were sitting on the bottom of the jar. They had bubbles coming off of the shell. Brett thought it might be sugar crystals floating off.

The next day, we were shocked to see the eggs floating in the vinegar covered with bubbles. Once out of the vinegar, we gently touched the eggs and found they were soft! The shell seemed to have disappeared! WOW!
