"Bouncing" The Naked Eggs

After a long time awaiting we finally removed our naked eggs (see further down on the blog for more) from the jars of vinegar. They had been soaking in the vinegar for about 3-4 weeks.

Here are some questions that the children had to answer about predictions and observations.


Rykin, Brooklyn and Austin

Alesha, Ella and Jess

Lauren, Jairna and Brayden

Robbie, Riley and Kayne

Mikayla, Ryus and Sophie

What actually happened?

The vinegar acted as a dissolvent and eroded the egg shell, leaving only the white and yolk in a rubbery but see-through state. When we touched them, they wobbled and felt soft and disgusting.

Here are what the eggs looked like when removed from the vinegar.

We thought that since they turned rubbery we would try and bounce them. Check out the video below of us attempting to bounce the eggs!
