Description
A fun and educational hands-on science experiment that transforms a raw egg into a bouncy one using vinegar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 raw egg
- 1 cup white vinegar
- Clear glass or jar
- Food coloring (optional)
- Spoon (for handling the egg)
- Paper towels (for drying)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by finding a clean, flat surface and gather all your materials.
- Carefully place the raw egg in the clear glass or jar. Pour vinegar over the egg until it’s fully submerged and note the fizzy reaction.
- Let the egg sit in vinegar for 24-48 hours and observe the bubbles forming on the surface.
- After the waiting period, carefully remove the egg using a spoon and rinse it under cold water.
- Gently drop the egg from a small height onto a soft surface to test its bounciness.
Notes
For a colorful surprise, mix a few drops of food coloring into the vinegar before submerging the egg. You can also experiment with eggs of different sizes or types.
