To see Mrs. Casciano's "Bouncy Egg" Explanation click on the video below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Materials: 

An egg (either hard boiled or raw) I recommend hard boiled.

A tall glass or mason jar

White vinegar

 

Procedure: 

Step 1:

Carefully place your egg into a glass or jar.

Step 2:

Fill the glass with white vinegar until the egg is completely covered. You can add a few drops of food coloring to the glass too! 

Step 3:

Put the glass aside so no one drinks and or/ spills it. It will smell a bit, vinegar has a strong odor. You can cover the glass with plastic, wax paper or a lid.

Step 4:

Observe the egg daily for 3-4 days, you will notice a lot of foam and bubbles and the egg will get a little larger.

Step 5:

When the egg becomes translucent (almost see through) it is ready. 

Step 6:

Remove the egg from the glass and rinse it under some tap water. While rinsing gently rub the outside of the egg and the white film will come off leaving you with a translucent egg.

Step 7:

Examine your egg, notice it feels slightly different that when you started. Most noticeably it is missing the shell and has a weird rubbery feel to it. Gently shake it and squeeze it.

 

Test your Egg:

Test your new creation on a plate or in the sink by bouncing it a little on a plate or in a tray. (just like it shows in the video).

 

 

You now have a cool creation that can astound your friends and family, have some fun with it, the possibilities are endless!
