P7G Eggsperiment!

20th Mar 2018

Today we began our EGGS-periment! (Get it!) We are discovering what happens to an egg when it is submerged in clear and coloured vinegar.

We made lots of predictions such as...

  • the egg will bubble
  • the shell will dissolve and disappear
  • the shell will crack
  • the egg yolk and white will mix with the water to make a slime
  • the egg will change colour

We then set up the experiment.  We created a control jar, where the egg was just submerged in water.  This will help us the see the difference between water and vinegar. 

Our eggs are submerged in three colours: pink, purple and blue.

At the end of the day, we noticed that part of the shell was peeling off the egg.  I wonder what we will notice tomorrow.
