After our turkey bone experiment, we decided to try water and vinegar with eggs!
Once again each child made a guess as to what they thought would happen to the egg in water and egg in vinegar!? Â Some of the guesses for water were: Â crack, turn into scrambled eggs, change colour and explode! Â Guesses for vinegar were: break, turn into a unicorn (child was wearing our dress-up unicorn!)! and change colour.
After 4 days we took the eggs out of the jars to see what, if anything happened? Â The egg in the water stayed the same and we cracked it open to see inside
Each child got a portion of the washed egg shell to feel and see the plastic like part-membrane.
The egg in the vinegar did change!!! Â It got bigger and had no shell
!Â
And the egg became squishy and bouncy!!! Â Each child had a chance to feel the squishy egg and when we bounced it too hard..
..
After sharing this experiment with parents, I had one parent say to me “Aha! Â Now I know why he has suddenly decided he wants to break all my eggs lol! Â I’ll have to do this experiment with him at home!”
It is very exciting when the children take their discoveries and knowledge and share them with others…
