Did you ever try to bounce an egg? Don't! Not until you read through this experiment, anyway.
This experiment is more fun if you do it with a couple of friends, because you can have a bouncing egg contest when you've finished it. So round up a couple of pals, a dozen eggs or so, and let's get started.
What Do you need to perform this experiment?
This experiment is more fun if you do it with a couple of friends, because you can have a bouncing egg contest when you've finished it. So round up a couple of pals, a dozen eggs or so, and let's get started.
What Do you need to perform this experiment?
- 2 glass jars or plastic containers with covers
- 1 raw egg
- 1 hardboiled egg
- vinegar (enough to cover both eggs)
How to do it?
Place your raw egg in a jar and cover it with vinegar. You will notice the reaction of the egg shell with calcium carbonate and vinegar. It will bubble for the first day (as above) The second day you need to change the vinegar. After 48 hours we carefully rinsed the raw egg and noticed it was transparent! Cool! Isn't it amazing? Basically it is an egg without a shell!
Here you can see that it is flexible because of the membrane. The membrane thickens with the vinegar and holds the raw egg together.
The Naked raw egg bounces, but don't bounce too high or too hard or you'll have an egg splatted on the countertop.
