Absorption Experiment

Magic Egg

Materials you will need:

• A Sink
• Paper Towels
• White Vinegar
• A Hard-Boiled Egg
• A Clean Glass Jar and Lid

This is a rubbery experiment!

Steps:

1.  Place the hard-boiled egg in the glass jar.
2.  Slowly pour in the vinegar until the egg is completely covered.
3.  Screw the lid back on the jar - tightly.
4.  Let this sit for at least one week.
5.  After a week has passed;
6.  Drain the vinegar from the jar.
7.  Dry the egg with a paper towel.

What happened to the eggshell?
The vinegar (acid) dissolves the eggshell and leaves you with a rubbery egg. You can bounce the egg; but do not drop from a high height.
