Have you ever wondered what a clear egg looks like? Or if an egg can bounce without cracking? I did, and when I saw Miss McAuliffe's post on our class weekly grid, I really wanted to try it.
There were three stages to the experiment. The first stage began with me begging my Mum if we could do the experiment. Once she said yes, we were good to go. We had to find a clear container, an egg, and white vinegar. Luckily for me, my Grandpa is a real baker, and so he had all these items at home. My Mum and I gathered the items, and then we had to watch the video clip to follow the steps.
Firstly, we placed the egg inside the container and then filled the container with white vinegar until the egg was under vinegar water. We closed the lid, and I had to hide the container somewhere that my little sister couldn't reach or shake and crack the egg.
Next, we had to wait 3 days/36 hours to let the egg soak in vinegar. After day one, I noticed that my egg had bubbles around it. By day two, my egg had grown fat, and the shell was disappearing. By day three, the shell had completely disappeared and I could see the yellow yolk of the egg.
Finally, I was able to bring the egg out of the container. Man, the vinegar smell was so strong, it STUNK! But I carefully brought the egg out of the container and it felt like a jelly ball. I was recording my video with my Dad, and I was bouncing the egg and surprised at how it bounced without cracking. Nekk minit - CRACK! The egg split open and the yolk was liquid. The membrane was the cool part. It felt like slime!
