Our Egg Experiments!








Experiment #1: Why Doesn't A Mother Bird Break Her Eggs?

We managed to put 18 dictionaries on top of 6 egg shells, a lot of us in our hypothesis thought that this would be impossible but we have since found out it isn't!
Conclusion: The arc-like shape of the egg helps support the weight of the dictionaries. The shape of the egg is the reason it doesn’t break when a bird sits on it.

Experiment # 2: Can you Make An Egg Bounce?

We loved doing this and found out that you can!! Once again a lot of us thought that this was not possible.
Conclusion: The vinegar removes the shell but leaves the membrane or skin. The water stretches the membrane which is thick and can be shown to students. This allows the egg to “bounce.”
