Did you know that soaking an egg in vinegar for two days causes the shell to dissolve, leaving behind a rubbery (yet still breakable) egg? My kids find this the most fascinating thing ever, even when the yolk breaks on them. For two weeks we went through egg after egg as F kept repeating this experiment.
Oh well, it is sort of fascinating, especially since you can peak in and watch the shell dissolve over time.
What about everyone else? Try any EASY science experiments lately?
RUBBER EGG EXPERIMENT:
1. Place egg in a bowl and cover the entire egg with clear vinegar. Cover the bowl with a plate.
2. After 24 hours, rinse the egg and replace with fresh vinegar. Cover the bowl.
3. After about 12 more hours, check your egg. Is it rubbery yet?
ha ha ha, awesome! totally doing this with Julia.
