Bouncy Egg 3

Today we came back to our eggs from yesterday. We put them in vinegar and coke to see what happened in 24 hours. The acid in the vinegar and coke should have dissolved the egg shell and it should bounce if you drop it. If you want to get more information click here  1 & 2.

The one in vinegar sort of worked. It had dissolved the shell and it was kind of squishy but when we dropped it, it smashed like a normal egg would.

The one in coke didn't work as well but I did notice some changes to the egg. The shell was a bit softened and it was starting to dissolve.

Next time I would leave these for longer. Three days might see better results! 

I really enjoyed this task even though it didn't work that well for us

Bouncy Egg

This week for Science we learnt about a trick with an egg and vinegar. Do you know what it is going to do? How? I can tell you now! It is going to make the egg bouncy by eating away at the shell and filling it with more water to make it float in the vinegar. I enjoyed putting the egg in the vinegar and smelling it because I love the smell of vinegar. I found it tricky to know what it will do because I have never done this experiment before. Here it is:
